how to change font size of JOptionPane

import java.awt.ComponentOrientation;

import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JList;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
import javax.swing.JScrollPane;

public class trial2 
{   
public static void main(String[] args) 
{
    String[] option = {"Chorita M. Adlawan", "Noel B. Angeles", "Julie P. Benenoso", "Percival P.Bermas", 
            "Beverly Mae M. Brebante","Adela N. Cabaylo", "Carol G. Cainglet", "Oscar U. Cainglet", 

    String selected = (String)JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "MINES AND GEOSCIENCES BUREAU - REGION XI, DAVAO CITY\n" +
            "                         LIST OF REGISTERED EMPLOYEES", 
            "Please Select Employee",JOptionPane.DEFAULT_OPTION, null, option , "Adlawan");     

}
}

Those are my codes above. My question is, can i change the font size and style of my JOptionPane to make my list font larger, very much appreciated for any tip. Thanks.

If you want all JOptionPanes to have the same font style and size, you can change the property of the UIManager with:

javax.swing.UIManager.put("OptionPane.font", new Font("yourFontName", Font.BOLD, 30));

To get a list of the available font names, use the following snippet:

GraphicsEnvironment ge = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
String[] fontNames = ge.getAvailableFontFamilyNames();

for (int index = 0; index < fontNames.length; index++)
{
     System.out.println(fontNames[index]);
}

One of the easiest ways is to use HTML directly in the String literal. For example:

"MINES AND GEOSCIENCES BUREAU - REGION XI, DAVAO CITY\n"

Can easily become:

"<html><span style='font-size:2em'>MINES AND GEOSCIENCES BUREAU - REGION XI, DAVAO CITY"

Note that when you use HTML, you can no longer use \n for new lines. Use <br> instead.
