Hi,
I wonder if there's any font family such as Veranda, New Times Roman etc
in GEF? Hope that someone can enlighten me. Thanks!

I might not understand what your issue is.
For a 10 pt "Times New Roman" font with normal face, you could do this in
your org.eclipse.draw2d.Shape.outlineShape( Graphics ):
Font font = new Font( Display.getDefault(), "Times New Roman", 10,
SWT.NORMAL )
graphics.setFont( font );
graphics.drawString( "whatever", 10, 10 );

In the PrinterGraphics class, we map every font from its Display version to
its Printer version. Make sure you dispose() the graphics, since that will
throw out the cache of PrinterFonts.

A ok, thank you. Now I got it ... it was a bit hidden via zoomFont() and
getCachedFont().
