Font families available in JavaFX 8

In my JavaFX application, the user will have the possibility to choose the font or font family for displaying the menus, labels, combo boxes, check boxes etc. Where can I find the different font families available for JavaFX 8?

You can get the list of installed font families by calling javafx.scene.text.Font.getFamilies();.

Personally I would attach a CSS sheet to your program, in that case you can set the default font family using .root, something like this;

    .root{
    -fx-font-family: "Courier New";
}

Here are some examples of some websafe fonts you could use in CSS;
