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 (e.g. SansSerif) to a different font when running a Java program? If so, does the method differ between Java VM versions?

Answer 1

Look in $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/fontconfig.properties for everything (well, almost) you'd ever want to know about font mapping in Java. :-)
