That is the the actual list. They will be available on each
platform. If you use another font name it will be mapped to
one of these (I guess times). In your properties file you can
specify specific mappings. For definign the following property:
awt.font.lucida=Helvetica
will map "Lucida" to "Helvetica". It should also be possible to
map symbolic names like Lucida to actual native font names, but
I'm not sure if that is implemented in the AWT (I haven't tried).
Have fun,
