Here is the code of ShowColorAndFont.java

import java.awt.*;
import java.text.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.font.*;

public class ShowColorAndFont extends JPanel {
  public void paint(Graphics g) {
  Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g;
  String text = "Java is an Object Oriented Programming Language.";
  Dimension dimension = getSize();

  Font font1 = new Font("Book Antiqua", Font.PLAIN, 30);
  Font font2 = new Font("Monotype Corsiva", Font.PLAIN, 30);

  AttributedString attributedString = new AttributedString(text);
  attributedString.addAttribute(TextAttribute.FONT, font1);
  attributedString.addAttribute(TextAttribute.FONT, font2, 14);
  attributedString.addAttribute(TextAttribute.FONT, font2, 67);
  attributedString.addAttribute(TextAttribute.FONT, font2, 910);
  attributedString.addAttribute(TextAttribute.FONT, font2, 1217);
  attributedString.addAttribute(TextAttribute.FONT, font2, 1926);
  attributedString.addAttribute(TextAttribute.FONT, font2, 2838);
  attributedString.addAttribute(TextAttribute.FONT, font2, 4047);

  attributedString.addAttribute(TextAttribute.FOREGROUND, Color.red, 01);
  attributedString.addAttribute(TextAttribute.FOREGROUND, Color.red, 56);
  attributedString.addAttribute(TextAttribute.FOREGROUND, Color.red, 89);
  attributedString.addAttribute(TextAttribute.FOREGROUND, Color.red, 1112);
  attributedString.addAttribute(TextAttribute.FOREGROUND, Color.red, 1819);
  attributedString.addAttribute(TextAttribute.FOREGROUND, Color.red, 2728);
  attributedString.addAttribute(TextAttribute.FOREGROUND, Color.red, 3940);
  
  g2d.drawString(attributedString.getIterator(), 4080);
  }
  public static void main(String[] args) {
  JFrame frame = new JFrame("Show Color and Font");
  frame.getContentPane().add(new ShowColorAndFont());
  frame.setSize(700200);
  frame.show();
