Re: Determining available fonts?

[nnaass <al...@gmail.com>]

I was looking for a solution for this problem then I solved it and I want to
post it :

fonts = new Vector<String>();

// Get all font family names
GraphicsEnvironment ge = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
String fontNames[] = ge.getAvailableFontFamilyNames();


// Iterate the font family names
for (int i = 0; i < fontNames.length; i++) {
	Font f=new Font(fontNames[i],Font.PLAIN,10);
    if (f.canDisplayUpTo("zxcvbnmasdfghjklqwertyuiop")==-1)
    	fonts.add(fontNames[i]);
	
}
System.out.println(fonts.toString());

///////////////////////////////////////

The trick is to check if the font can display all characters. 
(f.canDisplayUpTo("zxcvbnmasdfghjklqwertyuiop")==-1) // if true, it will
return -1
 
This will remove the junk fonts. 

Please note that this is not solution about the space in the font name such
as "Wingdings 3" you need to double quat them like this font-family=" '
Wingdings 3 ' " <-- to make it clear but it should be
font-family="'Wingdings 3'" .

Hope this will help somebody...
