Hi,

I have some questions about creating fonts. Does Processing use  Java logical fonts? I think so, because the createFont() method works well when one of the five logical names ( "Serif", "SansSerif", "Monospaced", "Dialog", "DialogInput" ) is passed to it .
However, even other names, say "DonaldDuck", are accepted logical font names! Why?
As concerns the latest version of Processing (1.0.9) , the code
hint (ENABLE_NATIVE_FONTS)
seems to have no effect.
The program below shows some ways to create font. Are there other ways?

size(200,200, JAVA2D);
PFont fonte;
fonte = loadFont("HoeflerText-Black-48.vlw");
// bitmap font created and inserted in "data" folder
textFont(fonte, 12);
fill(10, 20, 250, 80);
textAlign(RIGHT);
text("pippo pippo non lo sa", 10, 14,  35, 70);
textFont(fonte, 94);
textAlign(LEFT);
fill(200, 0, 0, 100);
text("ppnls", 25, 5, 150, 190);
fonte = createFont("Serif", 10, false); // Java logical font
textFont(fonte, 80);
fill(0, 200, 0, 170);
rotate(PI/6);
text("LO SO", 20, 20, 280, 280);
fonte = createFont("cmsy10", 10, true); // system font (not in "data")
textFont(fonte, 80);
fill(0, 20, 150, 170);
rotate(PI/12);
text("ECCO", 20, 20, 280, 280);
fonte = createFont("grunge.ttf", 10, true);
// vector font in "data" folder
textFont(fonte, 80);
fill(100, 100, 0, 170);
rotate(-PI/6);
text("qui", 20, 20, 280, 280);
save("finestrella.gif");
