The documentation says of Font.getFamily
"Gets the platform specific family name of the font."
I assume that this should be something like
"Times New Roman" or "Ariel" or MS Mincho etc.
Insted what I get is the Java logical name.
The following program demonstrates the problem:
import java.io.*;
import java.awt.*;


class t{
    public static void main(String[] argv){
Font f;

String[] fontlist = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getFontList();
System.err.println(fontlist.length+" Fonts defined");

for (int i = 0; i< fontlist.length; i++) {
System.err.println("Font "+fontlist[i]);
f = new Font(fontlist[i],Font.PLAIN,12);
System.err.println("Family "+f.getFamily());
System.err.println("Name "+f.getName());
}
System.exit(1);
    }
}
