Answer 1

Use GlyphVector. Use Font class

public GlyphVector layoutGlyphVector(FontRenderContext frc,
                                         char[] text,
                                         int start,
                                         int limit,
                                         int flags) {

You can get outline Shape from glyph vector by public abstract Shape getOutline()

Assign the outline Shape as a clip to your Graphics instance.

Draw the image on the graphics.

Only clipped shape will be filled.
