There are several font properties contained in a diagram style :
| Comment font | This property lets you set the font to be used for comments. |
| Target font | This property lets you set the font to be used for targets. |
| Regular font | This property lets you set the font to be used for everything but comments and targets (i.e. messages, operators, guards, return values, ...). |
To change any of the fonts properties :
Fonts are always a bit tricky when you want to share documents with others. Unless you have a special need, it is recommended you do not change the font settings. If you must change them, please consider the advice below.
The font names that you can select on your system may differ from those on a someone else's. When they open your diagram and a font name is not present on the system, the Java runtime environment will try to match it as closely as possible.
If you want to exchange your diagrams with other users and you are not sure that they will have your chosen fonts on their system, it is best to stick to the standard Java fonts :
Note that these are logical font names and may be mapped to different physical fonts on different systems.
Beware that the font size may not match that of other programs on your system.
For visual consistency, it is probably best to use just one font on a diagram and only vary the size and/or font style (if at all).
