Load OTF font from file

810719

I've read in several places, that java 6+ supports OTF fonts, yet I can not find, how one can load an OpenType font frm a file.
There are numerous examples of how to load TTF fonts, by calling

Font.createFont(Font.TRUETYPE_FONT, fontFile);

but none seems to notice the glaringly obvious problem, that the OPENTYPE_FONT font type constant does not exist.

So... is it possible? How is it possible?

As it turns out, the OTF fonts load just fine with Font.TRUETYPE_FONT set as the font type.
