I'm working on an application that requires a lot of text, and I want the
user to be able to pick and choose from the existing TrueType fonts on the
machine.  JDK 1.2 claims to support TrueType fonts, but the documentation on
this functionality is weak, and I haven't found a single java 1.2
programming book that even mentions it.

What I'd really like to know is how I can get an AWT TextArea component to
use a TrueType font.  If you've had any luck with this, /PLEASE/ help me out
here... I'd greatly appreciate it. :)
