How do I tell Java to map a logical font (e.g. SansSerif) to a specific font on my system?

Question

Is there a way to map a logical font (for example, SansSerif) to another font when starting a Java program? If so, is the method different from Java VM versions?

Answer 1

Look $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/fontconfig.propertiesfor everyone (well, almost) you've ever wanted to know about font mapping in Java. :-)
