A font is a specific style of displaying characters. It describes the design, size, appearance, weight, and spacing of a character. It is the combination of pitch and spacing.

Following code defines the font specified:

Font font = new Font("Monotype Corsiva", Font.BOLD, 20)

1. Class FontRenderContext measures the text specified. 
2. A glyph is an element of writing and displaying characters in a style. Class GlyphVector provides a collection of glyphs containing geometric information. 

Here is the code of SimpleFontPaintExample.java

import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.font.GlyphVector;
import java.awt.font.FontRenderContext;

public class SimpleFontPaintExample extends JPanel{
        public void paint(Graphics g) {
        Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)g;

        String st = "Java is an Object Oriented Programming Language.";
        Font font = new Font("Monotype Corsiva", Font.BOLD, 20);
        FontRenderContext fontRendContext = g2d.getFontRenderContext();
        GlyphVector glyphVector = font.createGlyphVector(fontRendContext, st);
        g2d.drawGlyphVector(glyphVector, 30, 50);
      }
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    JFrame frame = new JFrame("Font Paint Example");
    frame.getContentPane().add(new SimpleFontPaintExample());
    frame.setSize(500, 150);
    frame.show();
