There is not code there that would cause that error message so you obviously haven't shown us the relevant code.

Read the error message. You are asking how to convert a String to a Font but the error message says that the problem is that you're trying to convert a Font to a String, which is the complete opposite. Nowhere in the code you posted is a Font being converted to a String, which I already said in my previous post. I will say again and for the last time, show us the actual code that causes the error. If you refuse to show it to us then we can't help you fix it.
