Java Program to create a font object and set a specified posture and apply it to a text: In this program we will create two Text object and set one’s font posture to REGULAR and the other one to ITALIC. Then set the text to the TextFlow and add this textflow to the VBox and add the vbox to the scene, and add the scene to the stage. Also, set the line spacing and text alignment of the textflow and the spacing of the vbox. Call the show() function to display the final results.
