Question

I am trying to Create a JFrame which holds five buttons with the names of five different fonts.                                                  I am also to include a 6th button that when the user clicks will make the font larger or smaller.
Then I am to display a demonstration JLabel using the font and size that the user selects. Save
the file as JFontSelector.java.

This is the code I have written so far. I am stuck at this point and can use some help to finish this code. Please explain the steps if at all possible. Also I do not need to use a cardLayout if it's not the best route but if it its used there should only be one button where the code I have written has two I have been unable to combine them into the same button.

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class JFontSelector extends JFrame implements ActionListener
{
    JButton button1 = new JButton("Arial");
    JButton button2 = new JButton("Calibri");
    JButton button3 = new JButton("Chiller");
    JButton button4 = new JButton("JokerMan");
    JButton button5 = new JButton("SansSerif");
    JButton size1 = new JButton("Big");
    JButton size2 = new JButton("Small");
    Font arialFont = new Font("Arial", Font.PLAIN, 12);
    Font calibri = new Font("Calibri", Font.PLAIN, 12);
    Font chiller = new Font("Chiller", Font.PLAIN, 12);
    Font jokerMan = new Font("JokerMan", Font.PLAIN, 12);
    Font sansSerif = new Font("SansSerif", Font.PLAIN, 12);
    Container con = getContentPane();
    JPanel panel1 = new JPanel(new GridLayout(3, 0));
    JPanel panel2 = new JPanel(new CardLayout());
   
   
    public JFontSelector()
    {
        setLayout(new FlowLayout());
        con.add(panel1);
        panel1.add(button1);
        panel1.add(button2);
        panel1.add(button3);
        panel1.add(button4);
        panel1.add(button5);
        con.add(panel2);
        panel2.add(size1);
        panel2.add(size2);
        button1.setFont(arialFont);
        button2.setFont(calibri);
        button3.setFont(chiller);
        button4.setFont(jokerMan);
        button5.setFont(sansSerif);
        size1.addActionListener(this);
        size2.addActionListener(this);
        setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    }
   
    @Override
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
    {
        panel2.next(getContentPane());
    }
   
   
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        JFontSelector font = new JFontSelector();
        final int HEIGHT = 400;
        final int WIDTH = 300;
        font.setSize(HEIGHT, WIDTH);
        font.setVisible(true);
    }
   
   
   
}
