Change font of jTextfield in jDatePicker in Java

I have downloaded a jDatePicker library and embedded it into my application successfully. This is just a simple jdatepicker.jar file.

I have this simple code to add jDatePicker in my application

public JDatePickerImpl JDatePickerDemo() 
{
        UtilDateModel model = new UtilDateModel();
        model.setDate(1990, 8, 24);
        model.setSelected(true);
        JDatePanelImpl datePanel = new JDatePanelImpl(model);
        JDatePickerImpl datePicker = new JDatePickerImpl(datePanel, new DateLabelFormatter());
        return datePicker;      
}

this adds jDatePicker in my application

enter image description here

But the fonts in this above textField is very small, i want to increase its font size. How can I do?

I also have a class with it to format date in textfield, may be that can help but I don't know

public class DateLabelFormatter extends AbstractFormatter 
{
    private String datePattern = "yyyy-MM-dd";
    private SimpleDateFormat dateFormatter = new SimpleDateFormat(datePattern);

    @Override
    public Object stringToValue(String text) throws ParseException {
        return dateFormatter.parseObject(text);
    }
}

I have used sourceforge.net/projects/jdatepicker ...

If you unroll the jar from that site, you can inspect the classes and study their public API. Upon doing this, you will see that there's a class called JDatePickerImpl. Somehwere I assume, you be instantiating this.

Upon creating an instance of this, you'll see that you have access to its internal text field, which is a JFormattedTextField. From there, you can change its font:

JDatePickerImpl datePicker = new JDatePickerImpl(...);
JFormattedTextField textField = datePicker.getJFormattedTextField();
textField.setFont(new Font("Some-Font-Name", Font.BOLD, 12));

Font font = new Font("Courier", Font.BOLD,12);

//set font for JTextField
field.setFont(font);
