UPDATED - problem is now solved in an ugly way - but there must be a proper way to do it?
I am having problems rendering text in a custom font, in HTML in a JLabel when the font name conflicts with the name of a font already installed on the system.
The system font is in a different format (otf vs ttf) so unsurprisingly the text is garbled.
The call to GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment().registerFont returns false to show the font failed to register. So I guess the question is, is there a way to use this font without registering, or a way to rename it before registering?
I have now solved my problem by editing the ttf file and mangling the font name to make a conflict extremely unlikely, but I'm guessing there must be a proper way to handle this situation.

Maybe the text contained HTML commands with charset or such.
String text1 = "<html><body>"
+ text.replace("&", "&")
.replace("<", "<")
.replace(">", ">");
+ "</body></html>";
