    • loadFromUrl

      public static Font loadFromUrl(String fontUrl)
      Tries to load the specified font name as a URL. Does not cache the result.
    • registerFont

      public void registerFont(Font f)
      Adds the specified font in the font cache. Useful if you want to load fonts that are not installed in the Operating System and cannot provide a full path to fonts either.
    • resetCache

      public void resetCache()
      Resets the font loading cache. If any font was manually registered, it will have to be registered again
    • getAvailableFonts

      public Set<String> getAvailableFonts()
      Returns the set of font families and font faces available in the system and those manually loaded into the cache
    • getAlternatives

      public List<String> getAlternatives(String name)
      Given a font name, returns alternatives for other scripts, based on the assumption they start with the same base name, e.g., "Noto Sans" also has a number of alternative fonts dedicated to specific scripts, like "Noti Sans Urdu", "Noto Sans Arabic", "Noto Sans Javanese" and so on. The code will not return style alterations like "Noto Sans Bold" or "Noto Sans Bold Italic" thought (strips all font names containing "bold" and "italic", case insesitive).
      Returns:
      A list of font names with the same base name
