Java binary compatibility issue: sun.font.FontManager class became interface

Question

I am using the Lobo - Java Web Browser library, and it gives me an exception which after some research I determined could be due to the library having been complied against

Answer 1

javax.swing.text.StyleContext.getDefaultStyleContext.getFont might work for you, across JDK releases.
