Displays all the fonts available via AWT in Java on the machine. Displays the fonts in a variety of styles, sizes and colours, rendered either with a Canvas or with a TextArea. FontShower displays the fonts available on *your* machine via *Java*. Other people will have different fonts installed and will see different selections available via Java on their machines. Your browser will see a slightly different set of fonts than Java does. Java has a few extra private fonts, and some browser fonts don't work with Java. The source contains two classes that may be of general use: ColorChooser, an AWT color chooser that works in both hex and decimal letting you select foreground or background colours. You can cannibalise this Component for your own programs. The other is a FontArea, which is like a stripped-down TextArea, except it lets you use any Font on it, not just the basic logical fonts the way a real TextArea does. Complete Java source included. There is a Swing version available at http://mindprod.com/products1.html#FONTSHOWER
