[kent7]

Hi, those who willing to help there. thank you in advance.

class FontLabel extends JLabel {
...
public void paint(Graphics g) {

GraphicsEnvironment env =
GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
String[] fontNames = env.getAvailableFontFamilyNames();
System.out.println("Available Fonts:");
for(int i=0; i<fontNames.length; i++)
System.out.println(" " + fontNames[i]);
Font fontSymbol = new Font( "Symbol", Font.PLAIN, pointSize);
Font fontWeb = new Font( "Webdings", Font.PLAIN, pointSize);

g.setFont( fontSymbol );

g.drawString( "\u2190",10,30);
}


I am able to display Arial Font face. but was stuck at display Symbol TrueType Font.
