/** Demo of making TrueType font usable in Java. This is a way cool facility
* because it means you can have "application-specific" fonts in Java;
* your application can have its own distinctive font that the user does
* NOT have to install into the JRE before you can use it.
* (of course they can install it if they have privileges and want to).
* <p>
* Must remain Swing-based despite problems on older systems, since
* apparently only Swing components can use TTF fonts in this implementation.
* <p>
* Did NOT work for me in Applet nor JApplet due to
* security problems (requires to create a temp file). Could be made
* to work by providing a policy file.
