title: Set font face and size in Scala TextArea
body: <p>An old thread (2009) mentioned the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>val area = new TextArea {
     font = new Font("Arial", 0, 8)
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However that code has no effect on current version of <code>scala.swing</code>  . I also tried</p>
  
  <pre><code>area.peer.setFont(new Font("Arial", 0,8).
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>That also had no effect. So what is the correct way?</p>
