But: your page also says that I can only use the five Java logical fonts
with an AWT control. This conflicts with your statement above, "You can
do a setFont for any font installed". Can I actually do that? Or am I,
as the web page says, restricted to the five Java fonts?

I explain all this at http://mindprod.com/jgloss/font.html

the rules are different for
AWT components
AWT drawString
Swing

Then there is the matter of whether you can have anti-aliasing.

Most people use Swing nowadays where you have the most flexibility
with Fonts.
