FontOptions is not a replacement for the Font Class. It’s another class that specifies certain options to be used for the font. As @chrhaase mentioned, it’s just the constructors that now require a FontOptions class to be passed. Also note that these two are equivalent:

titleLabel.setFont (FontOptions(16.0f, juce::Font::bold));
titleLabel.setFont (Font(FontOptions(16.0f, juce::Font::bold)));

because of “implicit conversions”. So what you have now is fine moving forwards in JUCE 8. See also:

JUCE 8 (possibly dumb) FontOptions question

I’m updating from JUCE 7 to JUCE 8, and dealing with the fact that the default Font::Font() is deprecated. You now should specify a FontOptions class as an argument. Maybe I’m just having a brain fart, or some C++ thing I don’t understand, but… A FontOptions object is not a Font, and yet in several places in JUCE code it is used as if it is. For example, in this code from CoreGraphicsContext: CGContextSetShouldAntialias (context.get(), true); CGContextSetBlendMode (context.get(), kC…
