True Type Fonts in Java

Question

Hi all
I searched through the forum and found some threads with the same problem but never a solution attached so here is my question:
I'm currently trying to use a True Type Font in Java. I installed the font under windows and it works fine in e.g. Word, but when I try to use it in Java all I can see are "rectangles". I'm not sure if the problem lies in the font itself or if it is a problem of Java. The fonts are named "Fughetta" and "Toccata" and can be found here: http://www.efn.org/~bch/aboutfonts.html. He is a code snippet I'm using to test the font:
public void setFonts(Graphics g)
        if (f != null) {
            return;
        f = new Font("Fughetta", Font.TRUETYPE_FONT, 26);
        System.out.println(f);
    public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
        super.paintComponent(g);
        setFonts(g);
        String s1 = "1234567890��!\"�$%&/(()=?`";
        String s2 = "qwertzuiop�+asdfghjkl��#yxcvbnm,.-<";
        String s3 = "QWERTZUIOP�*ASDFGHJKL��'YXCVBNM;:_>";
        String s4 = "1��{[]\\}@�~�|";
        g.setFont(f);
        g.drawString(s1, 10, 30);
        g.drawString(s2, 10, 70);
        g.drawString(s3, 10, 110);
        g.drawString(s4, 10, 150);
    }All help is appreciated ;)

Hy, Thanks for your sollution, but now I can't use this kind of approach.
I need to show a Bar Code Font inside a JTable cell, so I created my CellRenderer, in which I tried to change the font to my "Code EAN13" True Type font.
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table,
            Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column)  {
             Component c = super.getTableCellRendererComponent(table, value, isSelected, hasFocus, row, column);
             if (column == CollectInfoTableModel.CODBAREPRODUS_INDEX ) {
                     Font barCodeFont = new Font("Arial", Font.BOLD, 36);
                     c.setFont(barCodeFont);                 
}This doesn't work, it just prints some strange characters.
I tried your sollution, but when I make :
Graphics2D g2D= (Graphics)c.getGraphics();i keep getting g2D = null.
What can I do ?
Is there a way to obtai a valid Grapics object on which to draw the glyphVector on ?
