Hi,

I would like to use my own (custom) fonts in a Java/Swing-application I'm
developing; so instead of depending on system fonts (-> you never know
what's available, and there's hardly any freedom), I would like to put some
TTF or Type1 fonts in a directory, locate them at runtime and use them in my
program (without having to register them as system fonts).

This is possible in Win32/GDI (and very easy to implement: you just find,
load and lock the font resource, use it and then release it when you don't
need it anymore), but I have no clue on how to implement this in Java/Swing.

Please help! TIA!!

Wilco
