I want to add a text using the font "Chalk Dust" for which I am using the file "ChalkDust.ttf". If I use the GreenfootImage method setFont, and then drawString, I can't edit the font size, which by default happens to be 1px or something.

Here's my code which makes the Font object: 
try{
            font = Font.createFont(Font.TYPE1_FONT, new File("ChalkDust.ttf"));
        }
        catch(Exception e){
        }
And here's the code which draws the string with the font I want: 
public class Text extends Actor
{
    public Text(String str, Font font)
    {
        GreenfootImage image = new GreenfootImage(300, 60);
        image.setFont(font);
        image.drawString(str, 0, 0);
        setImage(image);
    }
}
The text display has a very small size (1 or 2 px). How could I fix it? Here's the alternative, where I can manipulate the font size but not font family: 
public class Text extends Actor
{
    public Text(String str, Font font)
    {
        GreenfootImage image = new GreenfootImage("hello", 16, Color.black, null);
        setImage(image);
    }
}
How could I manipulate the font-family and font-size at the same time? Thank you!
