#108 Use system wide fonts

[Christian Marker]

I realized that FreeMind makes no use of my system
wide installed truetype fonts while all other apps do. I
thought it was my fault (screwed up properties) but
then I found this in the Gentoo Linux forum:

Hi there!

I noticed that I can only choose between some
"default" fonts in Java applications, like "Monospaced",
"Courier", "SansSerif", etc...

How can I make Java using my whole truetype fonts like
the other apps do (i.e. KDE, OpenOffice, ...)?

Answer:

The ability to choose other "system" fonts was added in
Java 1.2. The ability to use these depends on how the
application you're using was written. There's a method
on GraphicsEnvironment called getAllFonts that returns
all the fonts available for use.

Can you make FreeMind works this way?

Hi,

the relevant place is tools.java which says:

public static Set getAvailableFontFamilyNames() {
if (availableFontFamilyNames == null) {
GraphicsEnvironment gEnv =
GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
String envFonts[] =
gEnv.getAvailableFontFamilyNames();
availableFontFamilyNames = new HashSet();
for (int i=0; i<envFonts.length; i++) {
availableFontFamilyNames.add(envFonts[i]); }
// Add this one explicitly, Java defaults to it if
the font is not
availableFontFamilyNames.add("dialog"); }
return availableFontFamilyNames; }

public static Vector getAvailableFontFamilyNamesAsVector() {
GraphicsEnvironment gEnv =
GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
String envFonts[] = gEnv.getAvailableFontFamilyNames();
Vector availableFontFamilyNames = new Vector();
for (int i=0; i<envFonts.length; i++) {
availableFontFamilyNames.add(envFonts[i]); }
return availableFontFamilyNames; }

public static boolean isAvailableFontFamily(String
fontFamilyName) {
return
getAvailableFontFamilyNames().contains(fontFamilyName); }

Can you correct these lines?
