am scanning source code to find possible instances of hardcoding of font sizes or font names that might not be standard jdk font names since hardcoding of font sizes can lead to resize issues (which can often be solved by using dynamic resizing using layout managers and by using global ide font size instead of hardcoding. and since using font names that are not standard jdk font names can lead to some fonts not being found, especially for asian or other non english fonts. We realize that some of this code might not be used or that some of these examples might not be applicable also, this is not meant to be complete since other instances of these situations might be present using other api names than patterns used for scanning - please check code to see if other such cases and fix as needed. also, suggest checking code to see that usages of setSize and setPreferredSize calls don't hardcode actual sizes of dialogs or other windows if it means that dynamic resizing would not happen in these cases Here are some instance(s) found of these possible problems: java.examples :::::::::::::: usernameLabel.setFont(new java.awt.Font("Dialog", 1, 24)); clientInfoLabel.setFont(new java.awt.Font("Dialog", 0, 24)); validationMsgLabel.setFont(new java.awt.Font("Dialog", 1, 11));
