Changing font size in Java

I got my own custom font working in Java, but I have one problem, the font size seems to be staying at 1. I tried font.deriveFont(20.0f); at my initialize method, but, it didn't resize.

try {
    font = Font.createFont(Font.TRUETYPE_FONT, new File("D:/StanJump/mailrays.ttf"));
    font.deriveFont(20.0f);
} catch (Exception ex) {}

This is my code to create the font and try to change the size, but this didn't work. Any help on making it work, please?

deriveFont returns a reference to a new font instance. Thus you need to assign it back to font, e.g.

font = font.deriveFont(20.0f);
