Referring to fonts in Java on openSUSE 12.3 [message #1125472]

I'm using Eclipse Kepler openSUSE 12.3 64 bit under Gnome and having an issue with fonts.
In a programme, a line

theTitleLabel.setFont(new Font("sansserif",Font.BOLD, 36));

works correctly, but the more indirect reference

theTitleLabel.setFont(new Font(GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment().getAvailableFontFamilyNames()[0], Font.BOLD, 36));

fails to fetch the correct character set. For example, if the title string is "Chess" then on the final page I see printed "Uxecc" in what appears to be a Cyrillic character set.
I guess I must be missing a setting in my system so that Java can find this resource, but don't know at this point if I should be setting something in Eclipse or the system itself.

Have you check to see what is returned at element 0 when you call getAvailableFontFamilyNames() on your system? This will be the name used when creating the font. The list that is returned is all font families available on your system.

Note that this isn't really an Eclipse JDT question but a general Java programming question. This isn't a general Java programming forum.

OK sorry about that, I guess I thought that there might be a setting required that would be discoverable in Eclipse, which seems to have a large number of options. I'll do some more digging. Thanks.
