Class awt.FontTable 

java.lang.Object
   |
   +----awt.FontTable
public class FontTable
extends Object
A class that creates font objects. Fonts are addressed by names in the FontTable. These names may not be the actual name of the font. By default, the names "Helvetica", "TimesRoman", "ZapfDingbats", "Dialog", "DialogInput", and "Courier" are always available. "Dialog" is bound to a native font that is appropriate for dialog components such as buttons or menus. In each font category, the sizes 8, 10, 12, 14, 24, 36 are always available. Other sizes may be specified and will work if the requested font is bound to a scalable font on the local platform or if the platform can do font-scaling. If scaling is not available, then the closest match is returned.
