Hello, MIDP 2.x defines 3 faces of font with 3 sizes + 3 styles.

• FACE_MONOSPACE
• FACE_PROPORTIONAL
• FACE_SYSTEM
• SIZE_LARGE
• SIZE_MEDIUM
• SIZE_SMALL
• STYLE_BOLD
• STYLE_ITALIC
• STYLE_UNDERLINED

You can choose font by using these values as like the below code:

Font f = Font.getFont(FACE_SYSTEM | SIZE_MEDIUM | STYLE_ITALIC);

From MIDP 3.0, you can assign font name with installed font or downloaded font. as like:

Font[] f = Font.getAvailableFonts(); // Get available fonts
Font a = Font.getFont("Andale Mono", STYLE_ITALIC, 10); // Get specific font

Unfortunately, there is no development tools for MIDP3 now.
