Hi all,

Apologies for the late reply, I'd forgotten about this thread :|.

Nope, they found a library (Swing!) which doesn't use the internals
and provides the correct behaviour,  :-).

+ import javax.swing.text.StyleContext;
+ return StyleContext.getDefaultStyleContext().getFont(name, style, size);

- import sun.font.FontManager;
- return FontManager.getCompositeFontUIResource(new Font(name, style, size));

Passing on Roman's comment was proof that they were going about it the
wrong way - they just needed the appeal to authority factor I guess.

Cheers,
Martijn
