------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Assignee: Greg Brown
> Add new font setters to text-based skin classes that allow a caller to
> customize the theme font
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: PIVOT-312
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-312
> Project: Pivot
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: wtk
> Reporter: Greg Brown
> Assignee: Greg Brown
> Fix For: 1.4
>
>
> Callers often want to modify only the weight, size, or style of the theme
> font when constructing a UI. Currently, the Label skin supports this via the
> "fontBold", "fontItalic", and "fontSize" styles, but similar styles are not
> available for other text-based components (e.g. buttons), and it would be
> cumbersome to add them.
> A more comprehensive solution would add support for a new JSON-based font
> encoding that callers could use as follows:
> <Label text="Foo" styles="{font:{bold:true}}"/>
> Instead of calling Font.decode(), the string-based font setter in LabelSkin
> would call a new method,
> org.apache.pivot.wtk.GraphicsUtilities.decodeFont(String):Font. If the string
> begins with a curly brace, this method would derive the font value from the
> theme font, applying the given properties. Otherwise, it would delegate to
> Font.decode().
> Callers should be able to fully specify a font using this notation (i.e.
> support a "name" property in addition to "size", "bold", and "italic"). So,
> decodeFont() should work as follows:
> - Get the current theme font.
> - Extract name, size, bold, and italic properties from it.
> - Override these values with values specified in the JSON string.
> - Create a new Font instance and return it.
> The existing "fontBold", "fontItalic", and "fontSize" styles in LabelSkin
> should be removed as part of this change.
