      There used to be an API to register font at runtime
      java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment.registerFont(java.io.InputStream, boolean)

      however it has been removed because of 4130437.
      According to the description it should be replaced with registerFont(byte [])
      than totally removing this method.

      Because of this limitation, VM has to be restarted after installing system fonts, it is not appropriate solution for the pure java desktop
      from user perspective.
