New fonts not showing up

Submitted by MMDeveloper on Thursday, 6 January, 2011 - 15:50

I'm running Windows 7, jEdit 4.3.2, Java 1.6.0_22.

I installed a couple of monospace fonts to try out in jEdit but when I go to Global Options and Text Area, the new fonts don't appear in the list when I try to change the text area font. The new fonts show up fine in other programs (office, photoshop, etc) but they just wont show in jEdit. One of the fonts is a bitmap font and the other is an Open Type Font.

Any ideas?

Java Font

Java programs cannot use Windows or other system fonts. They only use Java's own fonts, which are installed inside the JVM.

So, You could look for additional Java font packages.

I can't easily understand which is the answer to this issue. Practically, if I want to use e.g. the Dina font (that doesn't show up in the font list from jEdit), what's the next step that I need to do? Donwloading the font? Contacting the author? Searching something on Google?
