## Class Fonts

-     public final class Fonts
      extends Object

  Provides static access to popular Windows fonts. The sizes of the font constants are specified in typographic points, approximately 1/72 of an inch.

  TODO: Consider changing the visibility of the package private methods to public. As an alternative we may provide a FontPolicy that can emulate the font choice on Windows XP/2000 and Windows Vista for different software resolutions (96dpi/120dpi) and desktop font size settings (Normal/Large/Extra Large).
