Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`static java.awt.Font`	`getFont(java.lang.String fontFamilyName, int style, float size)`	Returns a font with the given family name or, if not available, a similar font, e.g.
`static java.lang.String[]`	`getSimilarFontsList(java.lang.String fontFamily)`	For a few basic font types, gets a list of replacement font families Note that java's 'SansSerif' has wider characters (significantly different metrics) than the other sans-serif fonts in the list; thus it should be considered a fallback option only.

                                    int style,
                                    float size)
```
    Returns a font with the given family name or, if not available, a similar font, e.g. Helvetica replaced by Arial
  - getSimilarFontsList
```
public static java.lang.String[] getSimilarFontsList(java.lang.String fontFamily)
```
    For a few basic font types, gets a list of replacement font families Note that java's 'SansSerif' has wider characters (significantly different metrics) than the other sans-serif fonts in the list; thus it should be considered a fallback option only. Also note that some fonts (Times, Helvetica, Courier, Monospace, Serif) tend to truncate some diacritical marks when using FontMetrics.getHeight (as ImageJ does), e.g. the ring of the Angstrom symbol Å may be clipped (at least on Java 1.6/Mac)
