I have some problem with getFontList() function.

It returns list of strings .

But the basic problem is, its an abstract method, in the abstract class
Toolkit.(java.awt.Toolkit)

Since Toolkit is an abstract class, i cannot instantiate its object.
If i decides to override this method, by extending Toolkit,
i'll have to override galaxy of methods, in Toolkit. Even if it is possible with spending long haul, its not an elegant way.

So is there any other way, so i can use getFontList() method, or its functionality ?

Thanx in advance !

If you really want to use getFontList, uncomment those three lines.

// import java.awt.Toolkit;
import java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment;
class TestFont02 {
    public static void main (String [] args)
    {
        // String fonts[] = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getFontList();
        // for (int i = 0; i < fonts.length; i++)
        //     System.out.println(fonts[i]);
        GraphicsEnvironment ge = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
        String allFonts[] = ge.getAvailableFontFamilyNames();
        for (int i = 0; i < allFonts.length; i++)
            System.out.println(allFonts[i]);
        System.exit(0);
    }
}

From the Java source

public abstract class GraphicsEnvironment {
    private static GraphicsEnvironment localEnv;
    /**
     * This is an abstract class and cannot be instantiated directly.
     * Instances must be obtained from a suitable factory or query method.
     */
    protected GraphicsEnvironment() {
    }
    /**
     * Returns the local GraphicsEnvironment.
     * @return this GraphicsEnvironment.
     */
    public static GraphicsEnvironment getLocalGraphicsEnvironment() {
	if (localEnv == null) {
	    String nm = (String) java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged
		(new sun.security.action.GetPropertyAction
		 ("java.awt.graphicsenv", null));
	    try {
		localEnv =
		    (GraphicsEnvironment) Class.forName(nm).newInstance();
	    } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
                throw new Error("Could not find class: "+nm);
            } catch (InstantiationException e) {
                throw new Error("Could not instantiate Graphics Environment: "
				+ nm);
            } catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
                throw new Error ("Could not access Graphics Environment: "
				 + nm);
            }
        }
	return localEnv;
    }

import java.awt.*;
class tst {
 public static void main(String[] args) {
 String[] fontlist = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment().getAvailableFontFamilyNames();
   	for(int i=0; i 	  System.out.println(fontlist[i]);
	  System.out.println("-------------");
 	  Font[] fontlist1 = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment().getAllFonts();
   	  for(int i=0; i    	System.out.println(fontlist1[i].getName());
  }
