Hi,

I have not found anyone else ask the question.

My question is what kinds of fonts can we use in Java? Via API Doc
it is said we could only use fonts in list of gettoolkit().getfontlist() in
new Font(fontname). There is only 5 fonts in the list.

As a test, a guy in Japan reported he can use Fonts("MS Sans Serif")
and those "Arial", "Book", "Antiqua", "Courier New"... Are these
undocumented fonts means these fonts are un-portable?

In fact, here we are using Japanese Windows95/NT, Japanese Openwindows,
and we want to using fonts in it. how can we?
