Hi, I have two problems on displaying fonts, 1. It is OK to in Java2D, to set style(e.g. bold) on fonts by using drawString() and setFont(), but in Swing JTextEditor, the style setting action sometimes fails. When I look in the Windows Fonts folder, I found that if the true type fonts file of the font family have bold and italic options, it is OK for setting style in JTextEditor. If the font family doesn't have the bold and italic font file, it can not be set style in JTextEditor, but very strange it can be set style by using drawString(). Why there is the difference ? I asked this question since I want to use some other chinese font in JTextEditor which do not have the bold and italic font files. 2. I try to add some addition chinese font(true type font) to the window font folder without any modification on the font.properties.zh_tw file, and use the fonts in JTextEditor. I find that some ttf files work but some don't. Why ? Are there any tricks underlined ??
