Jdk7: replacing sun.font.fontManager / how to get file name information from a name

Using Oracle (Sun) JDK6 and trying to migrate to Oracle JDK7

I use sun.awt.GraphicsEnvironment to find all the system fonts to use to change the pdf font used in my pdf file. Here is the exact code I'm using:

 GraphicsEnvironment gEnv = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment(); // get all system fonts final Font[] fonts = gEnv.getAllFonts();

After that, I will need to get the exact path of the font file on the system, so I use:

 FontManager.getFontPath(true) + "/" + FontManager.getFileNameForFontName(font_name);

Now the problem is that sun.font.FontManager no longer a class and converted to an interface. I searched the Internet and came up with some solutions that do not suit me, and I am looking for other ideas that will help solve my problem.

The solutions I found are:

  • Deploy my project in Java 6 instead of Java 7 (it is not recommended to use some new features in Java 7).
  • I found the FontManager class code online, but many other classes / interfaces will be required to use it, and this process seems fictitious and time-consuming. In addition, I do not, if I am allowed to use this code, as it is the property of Sun.

What I need: * A way to find the exact path of the font file in the system *. Any ideas are welcome.

You do not say which JDK you are using (Oracle, OpenJDK, ..). Perhaps you have

 FontManagerFactory.getInstance()

available. Or implementation of inteface Win32FontManager (if you are on Windows)?
