                                                          throws org.axsl.font.FontException

Create a FontOutput implementation. This method is not intended for use by client applications. It is to be used only by FontUse implementations if they do not already have a FontOutput for the desired mime type. Client applications that need a FontOutput instance should instead use FontUse.getFontOutput(String).

Parameters:

fontUse - The FontUse implementation for which the FontOutput instance should be created.

Returns:

A FontOutput implementation suitable for this factory's mime type.

Throws:

org.axsl.font.FontException - For errors during creation of the FontOutput instance.
