Font issue in Swing application on Mac OS

Question

In my Swing Application, I have a Label with font type of Mistral , which works fine in Windows but not on Mac OS X . Due to that, font size is set to default, which makes clumsy UI. I mean if Font Name is unknown then it should atleast consider the given font size. But Font object itself is not created as I am passing invalid font family. So Is there any way to include this Font , while packaging jar?

Sure, put in in the Jar then get an URL using getClass().getResource() .

Look in the Font methods for the createFont() variants to load it.
