When you say "public" you mean in the lists that the implementation searches for a match ? This could get tricky. I don't have a complete answer off the top of my head. Could we at least filter the returned list of full and family names to exclude them ? Then explicit searches would work but no one will be seeing them in a list of fonts available to apps. ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jfx/pull/547
