The documentation for java.awt.Font addresses this issue by
distinguishing between physical and logical fonts. The former have
particular names and availability, while the latter have been mapped to
installed fonts on a given platform.
Rather than "Courier", consider the implementation's monospaced font:
Font f = new Font(Font.MONOSPACED, Font.Italic, 12);
For larger point sizes, consider the available sans serif font:
Font f = new Font(Font.SANS_SERIF, Font.Bold, 36);
Also, be aware of the several variations of deriveFont().
More details may be found in the tutorial:
