Guys need help. i'm having problem in setting the font-size of my jtfText.

every time i set the font-size of jtfText all the panels and buttons is also getting bigger but not their font-size just the buttons.

This is my code

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

public class ScientificCalculator extends JFrame implements ActionListener
{

	char o;
	int ctr=0;
	String value="", cv="", oBtn;
	Double answer, v1, v2;
	Double NumberConverted;
	
	//Components
	private JButton jbtMemoryClear, jbtMemoryRecall, jbtMemorySave,
					jbtMemoryAdd, jbtMemorySubtract,
					jbtNum9, jbtNum8, jbtNum7, jbtNum6, jbtNum5, jbtNum4,
					jbtNum3, jbtNum2, jbtNum1, jbtNum0, jbtDecimal, jbtPosNeg,
					jbtBackSpace, jbtClear, jbtClearEntry,
					jbtDivide, jbtSquareRoot, jbtPercent, jbtMultiply, jbtSubtract, 
					jbtReciprocal, jbtAdd, jbtEqual,
					jbtPi, jbtCloseOpenParenthesis1, jbtCloseOpenParenthesis2, jbtModulo,

put this line in for your text

new JButton ("<html><CENTER><font size=\"3\">+/-</font></CENTER></html>")

set the size of the button with the

JButton.setPreferredSize (new Dimension (sizeX,sizeY)); // these are in px

I needed to use these for my calculator (lol)

No, i mean, i only want to change the font-size of the entered text in the jtfText.

JTextField disp = new JTextField (19);disp.setText ("0"); disp.setEditable (false);
disp.setFont (new Font ("Arial", 10,10));

Here is a website as well

The problem is that the GridLayout sizes each grid cell the same, so when you increased the height of your textfield by changing the font size, you increased the height of all rows in the grid.

To get around that you could use a BorderLayout of two panels, one with your text field at the top and another for all of your other buttons in the center.

That would allow you to separate the sizing of the two sections. Take a glance at this change to your layout code

//Setting the layout
JPanel upper = new JPanel();
upper.setLayout(new GridLayout(1,1));
upper.add(jtfTxt);

JPanel lower = new JPanel();
lower.setLayout(new GridLayout (13, 1, 2, 2) );
lower.add(p1);
lower.add(p2);
lower.add(p3);
lower.add(p4);
lower.add(p12);
lower.add(p5);
lower.add(p11);
lower.add(p6);
lower.add(p7);
lower.add(p8);
lower.add(p9);
lower.add(p10);

f.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
f.add(upper, BorderLayout.NORTH);
f.add(lower,BorderLayout.CENTER);
f.setJMenuBar(mb);
f.setResizable(false);
f.setBackground(Color.black);
f.pack();
f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
f.setVisible(true);
