Yash,
There are two things that would help you address the problem you describe:
Firstly you need to call GraphicsEnvironment.getAllFonts() to make sure you have
the "Symbol" font - before you call new Font(..);
Secondly Symbol is a strangely encoded font - make sure you use the proper
Unicode characters in the string from the Symbol range.
Actually the Symbol ranges are covered in the logical fonts like the font
"Dialog", "Serif" etc. - if you use any of the logical fonts you need not call
getAllFonts().
