Hi,

You can use your favorite TrueType and Postscript Type1 fonts instead
of the TrueType fonts included in the JDK1.2 (jre/lib/fonts).
Here is an example to use the ghostscript Type1 fonts with JDK1.2.
(1) Downloads the ghostscript Type1 fonts from
<ftp://ftp.cs.wisc.edu/ghost/gnu/gs510/ghostscript-fonts-std-5.10.tar.gz>.
(2) Extracts the ghostscript fonts on a directory.
% mkdir $HOME/gs-fonts
% cd $HOME/gs-fonts
% tar xvfz ghostscript-fonts-std-5.10.tar.gz
(3) Copies the attached 'fonts.dir' to the directory.
% cp fonts.dir $HOME/gs-fonts
(4) Copies the attached 'font.properties' to the 'jre/lib' directory.
% mv $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/font.properties $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/font.properties.orig
% cp font.properties $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib
(5) Sets the 'JAVA_FONTS' environment variable.
% setenv JAVA_FONTS $HOME/gs-fonts:$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/fonts
(6) Runs a java program.
% cd $JAVA_HOME/demo/jfc/Stylepad
% java Stylepad
Now, you can get better looks with the ghostscript Type1 fonts than
the default.
Note:
If you add '$HOME/gs-fonts' to the X font path and you don't set
'JAVA_FONTS', you can get more better looks (rendered by X not by JVM)
but Java2D will not work.
% unsetenv JAVA_FONTS
% xset fp+ $HOME/gs-fonts; xset fp rehash
% java Stylepad -> OK
% java Java2Demo -> Fail
PS.
I don't know how to use the bitmap fonts instead of the scalable
fonts. Somebody knows anything about this?
