Determining available fonts?

For my application, I poll the local system for a list of
fonts:
 
String[] fontNames =
GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment().getAvailab
leFontFamilyNames();
 
Most work in Batik.  Some, however, (like Wingdings) do not.
 Is there a way to determine which fonts are available for
Batik to render?  I know this is dependent on the system, so
I'm looking for a runtime solution that can evaluate whether
or not a system font is usable by Batik.

   Right, for some reason Wingdings claims that it can't
render
any characters so we don't use it to render any characters

   Not that I know of.  In fact I would love to know how I
could
identify fonts like Wingdings so that we could choose to
bypass the
'renderable' check and just use the font.
