Make note that this will only get you embedded fonts. If you want to grab all fonts on the user's machine then use `Font.enumerateFonts(false);` - I'm not telling you anything the documentation won't tell you, so have at it! – Jacksonkr Aug 30 '12 at 16:55

Thanks for the up vote, and I really don't want to be overly pedantic, but OP was specifically asking for a *list of embedded fonts*... ;) – weltraumpirat Aug 30 '12 at 16:59

Oh certainly, and you nailed the Q. I was merely adding some extra low-hanging-fruit info for anyone who may stroll past the comment in the future. – Jacksonkr Aug 30 '12 at 17:16

@Jackson - if you want to grab all fonts on the user's machine then use `Font.enumerateFonts(true);` not false (false is the default BTW). – rustyx Feb 21 '15 at 16:19
