Font Window :

This font window is made up with JDialog using GroupLayout as the LayoutManager. And this part is handled by the FontDialog class, which is located at src/msnotepad/gui/helper/FontDialog.java.

Both these windows are made up using GridBagLayout as the LayoutManager. And these dialogs are handled by the FindAndRepaceDialog class, which is located at src/msnotepad/gui/helper/FindAndReplaceDialog.java.

There is an interesting fact about this window/dialog. This Window is made up with a HTML file, named as AboutDialog.html. And this html code rendered by JLabel String renderer and initially formated and handled by the AboutDialog class, which is located at src/msnotepad/gui/helper/AboutDialog.java.
