Using Troy font in Java

Question

Hi,
I am using the Troy fonts which I had installed from MICR by TROY (EX).zip like Troy CMC7 ,Troy Auto-Protect (screen).ttf Troy OCR-A (screen).ttf etc.
We are developing a java program to generate .ps output based on the font settings selected using an user interface developed using C#. I am able to generate the .ps files using all fonts in windows other than
Troy. But in the C# user interface I am able to see the preview with the
respective Troy fonts (working fine) , and the font selections are
reaching my java program , but when java generates the .ps file what
ever text is marked using Troy font is not getting displayed in the .ps file.
I tried setting text with Troy fonts in a word file and generated a .ps
file which is too generating proper output. To get output ,. I am not using any physical printer but just opening the .ps file using a GhostViewer (GSView) and see how it appears. (the .ps generated using OKI C7400 v1.7 for XP virual PostScript printer).
Can you please confirm whether if there are any limitations in JDK 1.4
processing Troy fonts?
Thanks in advance
Kind Regards

Hi,
Here's an example..
The code has not been tested/compiled.
public class Example implements Runnable {
    private List queue;
    public Example() {
        queue = new LinkedList();
    public void post(Object item) {
        synchronized (queue) {
            queue.add(item);
            queue.notify();
    public void run() {
        try {
            while (true) {
                Object item = null;
                synchronized (queue) {
                    if (queue.size() == 0) {
                        queue.wait();
                    item = queue.remove(0);
                // Handle the item..
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
