     * all, or the requested behavior may already match the default behavior.
     * The behavior may differ between font rendering in lightweight
     * and peered components.  Since calling this method requests a
     * different font, clients should expect different metrics, and may need
     * to recalculate window sizes and layout. Therefore this method should
     * be called before user interface initialisation.
