What are font configuration and font.properties files?

The font configuration files are used in Sun’s JREs since 5.0 to map logical font names to physical fonts; earlier versions used font.properties files. There are several files to support different mappings depending on the host operating system version. The files are located in the lib directory within the JRE installation. Note that font configuration and font.properties files are implementation dependent. Not all implementations of the Java platform use them, and the format and content vary between different runtime environments as well as between releases.
