This font technology has some restrictions. First, as noted in the comments, you can use this
font only on a Swing JComponent , not on an AWT Component (see Chapter 14 ) .

Also, this technique cannot easily be used in an applet due to security concerns (because it
needs to create a local temporary file copy of the font). It should work in an application
downloaded using Java WebStart (see Java Web Start ).

Drawing an Image

Problem

You want to display an image, a preformatted bitmap, or raster file.
