public final class Fonts extends Object
TODO: Consider changing the visibility of the package private methods to public. As an alternative we may provide a FontPolicy that can emulate the font choice on Windows XP/2000 and Windows Vista for different software resolutions (96dpi/120dpi) and desktop font size settings (Normal/Large/Extra Large).

public static Font getWindowsControlFont()
The icon title font scales with the resolution (96dpi, 101dpi, 120dpi, etc) and the desktop font size settings (normal, large, extra large). Older versions may return a poor font. Also, since Java 1.4 and Java 5 render the Windows Vista icon font Segoe UI poorly, we return the default GUI font in these environments.
The last check is, if the icon font can display text in the default locale. Therefore we test if the locale's localized display name can be displayed by the icon font. For example, Tahoma can display "English", "Deutsch", but not the display name for "Chinese" in Chinese.
UnsupportedOperationException

null
if we can't
test it.
First checks, if the locale's display language is available in localized form, for example "Deutsch" for the German locale. If so, we check if the given font can display the localized display language.
Otherwise we check some known combinations of fonts and locales and
return the associated results. For all other combinations,
null
is returned to indicate that we don't know whether the
font can display text in the given locale.
