将opentype字体加载到java.awt中

Question

How do I load an opentype font into awt? Using createFont with Font.TRUETYPE_FONT gives me [error] java.io.IOException ( java.io.IOException: Can't read font.otf )

Sample code (jython):

Font.createFont(Font.TRUETYPE_FONT, File("font.otf"))

Answer 1

It looks like java.awt.Font does not support OpenType, nor TYPE2. See, http://bugs.java.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=6992611 .

So you could either use a .ttf along with java.awt.Font class, or use another class such as com.itextpdf.text.Font to work with .otf
