[java] How can I use a custom font in Java?

I wrote a program in Java that uses a special font that by default doesn't exist on any operating system.

Is it possible in Java to add this special font to the operation system? For example, in Windows, to copy this font to the special Fonts folder.

If it is possible, how?

If you want to use the font to draw with graphics2d or similar, this works:

InputStream stream = ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("roboto-bold.ttf")
Font font = Font.createFont(Font.TRUETYPE_FONT, stream).deriveFont(48f)

Here is how I did it!

//create the font

try {
    //create the font to use. Specify the size!
    Font customFont = Font.createFont(Font.TRUETYPE_FONT, new File("Fonts\\custom_font.ttf")).deriveFont(12f);
    GraphicsEnvironment ge = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
    //register the font
    ge.registerFont(customFont);
} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
} catch(FontFormatException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

//use the font
yourSwingComponent.setFont(customFont);

From the Java tutorial, you need to create a new font and register it in the graphics environment:

GraphicsEnvironment ge = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
ge.registerFont(Font.createFont(Font.TRUETYPE_FONT, new File("A.ttf")));

After this step is done, the font is available in calls to getAvailableFontFamilyNames() and can be used in font constructors.
