Class FontPolicies
java.lang.Object
org.pushingpixels.substance.internal.fonts.FontPolicies
Provides predefined FontPolicy implementations.
Note: The available policies work well on Windows. On other platforms the fonts specified by the runtime environment are chosen. I plan to provide more logic or options for other platforms, for example that a Linux system checks for a Tahoma or Segoe UI.
TODO: Add a check for a custom font policy set in the System properties.
TODO: Add policies that emulate different Windows setups: default XP on 96dpi with normal fonts ("XP-normal-96"), Vista on 120dpi with large fonts ("Vista-large-120"), etc.
