font.properties  should provides a mechanism that
allows to choose the font depends on the
platform that user has running.

EVALUATION Font RFE; reassigning to 2D. michael.martak@Eng 2001-06-11 One could alias both of those names in a single font.properties file, if needed, without making it platform-specific. We do check for font.properties.<osVersion> so it is possible that there is already a distinction made between win98 and win2k. jeannette.hung@Eng 2001-06-11 put these font.properties enhancement requests together into #4097028 xueming.shen@Eng 2001-08-10
