How can I change the fonts on Oracle Forms?

I have several forms (Oracle database and form 10) which have not been developed from the template. The current font is Time New Roman and I need to change it to Arial. Does any body have an idea apart from doing this task manually?

Thanks

There is a utility from Oracle called JDAPI that you could consider using. It is a Java library that alllows you to write a Java program to read and write Forms source files, making modifications such as yours programmatically.

I had to use it a couple of years ago while upgrading a lot of disparate forms to look like they belonged togther. I can't say it was easy, unless you are already an experienced Java developer, and there were some issues where some forms would get "broken" by JDAPI and have to be done manually instead.
