Ok this has been driving me nuts. JDK1.3 is suppossed to support runtime
loading of truetype fonts, but I just can't seem to get it to work.
Look at the code below ... (BTW I am runnin this on WIN32 so no worries
about setting X up properly)
// CODE SNIPPET
BufferedImage image = new BufferedImage(500, 500,
BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
Graphics2D graphics2D = image.createGraphics();
graphics2D.setPaint(Color.orange);
Rectangle2D rectangle2D = new Rectangle2D.Double(0, 0, 500, 500);
graphics2D.fill(rectangle2D);
graphics2D.setPaint(Color.black);
graphics2D.setRenderingHint(
RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,
RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream("arial.ttf");
// This font loads, you can call font.getName() and it will return its name.
Font font = Font.createFont(Font.TRUETYPE_FONT, in);
graphics2D.setFont(font.deriveFont(Font.PLAIN, 18));
// However it does not draw the font to the graphic.
graphics2D.drawString("TESTING", 0, 0);
// Yet this works perfectly fine.
Font font2 = new Font("Arial", Font.PLAIN, 18);
graphics2D.setFont(font2);
graphics2D.drawString("TESTING", 0, 250);
// END CODE SNIPPET
I just don't get it ...
This has been driving me nuts.
I know this is offtopic but I can't find the solution anywhere, and everyone
one on this list seems pretty knowledgable, so i figured what the hey.
Thanks,
Dan
