They should work with Java too, but the font names might be a bit different
(things like case, etc). Write a short test application to print out all
available Font names via GraphicsEnvironment.getAllFonts().
There is a problem with X Fonts though. X Fonts are only black & white bitmaps
that can not be antialiased. To get nice antialiased fonts you have to install
the Fonts into $JDKHOME/jre/lib/fonts/. You can then use the fonts inside Java
applications without the need for TrueType support in X and you can turn on
text antialiasing via putting the following method in your Swing components:
----- snip -----
public void paintComponent( Graphics g ) {
Graphics2D g2 = ( Graphics2D ) g;
g2.setRenderingHint( RenderingHints.KEY_TEXT_ANTIALIASING,
RenderingHints.VALUE_TEXT_ANTIALIAS_ON );
super.paintComponent( g2 );
}
----- snap -----
Hope this helps.
bye...
