Feature request: Loading Type1 fonts using createFont.

Background:
It is currently only possible to create TrueType fonts using the method "public
static Font createFont(int, InputStream)" in java.awt.Font. It is, however,
possible to use Type1 fonts, but only if they are statically loaded at the time
of VM startup. For our project, we need to be able to dynamically load Type 1
fonts in a similar manner.

Implementation suggestion:
A new constant, TYPE1_FONT != TRUETYPE_FONT in java.awt.Font needs to be
created, and createFont(int, InputStream) needs to be able to dynamically load
such a font when the TYPE1_FONT constant is used.
