Change font of JLabel

Question

how to change Font of JLabel ? I try this but with no succes:

JLabel nadpis = new JLabel(); 
nadpis.setFont(new Font("Papyrus", Font.ITALIC, 100)); 
nadpis.setText("hi");

Just size is changed but Font is still same

Is Papyrus available on your system? Is it spelled and capitalized correctly? — Hovercraft Full Of Eels, Oct 22 '11 at 12:36
For the available fonts, see [this answer](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6965038/getting-fonts-sizes-bold-etc/6965149#6965149). — Andrew Thompson, Oct 22 '11 at 12:48

Look in the Font methods for the createFont() variants.
