A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
The fsType should be exposed as a getter in java.awt.Font. This value is available in the OS/2 table of TrueType and OpenType fonts.
JUSTIFICATION :
The fsType is supposed to be followed inside of applications that use fonts.
Documents that describe fsType and its expected use:
http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/acrobat/sdk/FontPolicies.pdf
http://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/os2.htm
CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Use Batik or another third-party tool for handling fonts. This makes dealing with system fonts in a way similar to the JDK difficult, however.
