Dynamic Fonts: Devolving to Default "Dialog"

[Michael McGrady]

I use a Struts PlugIn to set System.setProperty("java.awt.fonts", 
MyApp.FONTS_LOCATION) to set the dynamic option for awt fonts.  This 
works.  Then I put a variety of open source fonts in the 
MyApp.FONTS_LOCATION directory.  new 
File(MyApp.FONTS_:LOCATION).exists() return "true".  When I set  in a 
Struts custom taglib for a subclass of ImageTag as TextAttribute.NAME 
with the value of a .ttf file, it also shows up as the name of the Font 
object, e.g. 
java.awt.Font[family=dialog,name=wds011402,style=plain,size=36].  
However, as you can see, the family name always returns to a default, 
and the True Type Font in my custom fonts file is not used.  Does anyone 
have experience with this?  Is there a recommended different way of 
dealing with setting Fonts in Struts.
