OK. What I was trying to do is make the logical font name "SanSerif"
resolve to be this particular TTF font, without registering that font
with the X server. I am intending to run this under jdk 1.4, running
with the "headless" option - I have yet to investigate how fonts are
registered in this case.

That works - many thanks.
I had tried this previously, but with:
mapper.putName("SanSerif", pp);
Like this, it does not work, with "sansserif" it does. Both ways, I
create the font in AWT using:
new Font("SanSerif", Font.PLAIN, 18);

Unfortunately, the EULA prevents us from redistributing these fonts with
our application. I have just realised that the Lucida font distributed
with Java is a TTF font, and contains a good range of characters, so
that may be suitable.
thanks for your help,
