Font handling (in Windows, at least) is still horrible.
Before a font is recognised I have to call

GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment().getAvailableFontFamilyNames()

which is slow (and nasty). What I would like to be able to
do is store specialised fonts (preferably true-type) in a Jar file, along with the classes that use them. The fonts should
be loadable from the Jar file, in a platform-independent way,
without needing to install them.
