Yes, if the font.properties file is changed accordingly and the fonts
are made available in one of two possible ways:
1) Added to the X server's font path.
2) Added to the AWT's font path with the JAVA_FONTS environment
variable.
The advantage of the latter approach is that font rendering is performed
by the AWT instead of X, and the Graphics2D manipulations work. If you
use JAVA_FONTS, you need to specify a path containing all directories
from with the AWT gets scalable fonts, including the directory
containing the default fonts shipped with the JDK.
