Class FontSelector


public class FontSelector
extends java.lang.Object

Selects the appropriate fonts that contain the glyphs needed to render text correctly. The fonts are checked in order until the character is found.

The built in fonts "Symbol" and "ZapfDingbats", if used, have a special encoding to allow the characters to be referred by Unicode.
