There is my code.

What I need to do is make 3 types of Font ( TimesRoman, Courier, and Dialog)
Choices in the Choice Boxes.

Not sure how i go about doing that, something has to be done here:

Label label1 = new Label("Select a Font style");
       panel.add(label1);
       faceFont = new Choice();
       faceFont.add(COLOR_NAMES[0]);
       faceFont.add(COLOR_NAMES[1]);
       faceFont.add(TimesRoman);
       panel.add(faceFont);
       faceFont.addItemListener(new ItemListener() {
           public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent event) {
               text.setForeground(COLORS[colorChoice.getSelectedIndex()]);
           }
       });


Any help is appreciated.

You probably need to use a JList[^].
