Hi,

does anybody know how to use or load the „Helvetica Neue Light“ font in JavaFX?

Font font = Font.font("Helvetica Neue", 
FontWeight.EXTRA_LIGHT,FontPosture.REGULAR, 16.0);

=>  gives me the medium style font:

font = Font[name=Helvetica Neue Medium, family=Helvetica Neue, style=Medium, 
size=16.0]

Regards,
Tobi

I wrote this wiki page up a while back, while trying to understand fonts .... 
:-)

A lot of fonts depend on your platform too, which you did not mention.

Adding -Dprism.debugfonts=true
can give some good hints.

If you have suggestions to add to the page let me know.
