External tt-font with SWT [message #437482]

Hi,

I have to provide some very special characters for my SWT/Jface
application, thus I thought I could provide a modified tt-font with it.

Is it possible to use a tt-font with SWT which is not installed on the
system? I would like to do s.th. like
Font f = new Font("./fonts/myfont.ttf");

There seems not to be a straight forward way to do this. Is it
anyway somehow possible?

Thanks
Conny

The font must be installed for SWT to see it.
