FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version : 1.4.0_01

HotSpot client VM : 1.4.0_01-b03 mixed mode

FULL OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION :

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The problem is some classes need to know the path to a ttf
(or ttc) file to create their own Fonts (not a subClass of
java.awt.Font .

It would be very interesting if a FilePath
java.awt.Font.getFilePath() method existed.

Another possibilty would be to have a way of getting the
folders in which the font are located (either in the JRE or
in the system) and let the user find the wanted files. this
could be a FilePath
GraphicsEnvironment.getDefaultFontFolders() .

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
