[Bug awt/26648] New: java.awt.Font.createFont() needs to be implemented

[hendrich at informatik dot uni-hamburg dot de]

I have several test applications that use Font.createFont() to load custom
truetype fonts. In current classpath, this method is implemented (so that
the JAPI coverage looks good), but the actual GTK peer implementation throws
UnsupportedOperationException...

I am well aware that custom truetype fonts are not too likely until Graphics2D
has been fixed, but I guess that a bug report is in order. 

Actually, I would rather prefer slightly lower (but more honest) JAPI scores
instead  of the current practice of having stub methods without any backup 
in the AWT (gtk/qt) peers. It seems that similar cases of Unsupported-
Operations sleep in javax.net and javax.security.
