Does the text in Swing components have a default font? In particular, what about tab labels on JTabbedPanes?

I'm working on a mock-up of a GUI made with Swing and want it to blend it with a screen image I grabbed of a Swing app.

It depends on the Look and Feel. If it's an application you've written, get the values from UIManager.getDefaults().getFont("TabbedPane.font")
