Matching Fonts Using Java FontMetrics and Graphics2D Generated Text

I'm trying to match my generated text font to that of a design composition (PSD file). In the composition, the font is danteMt, but when I set that below my image text doesn't match. See attached images.

private String writeTextThumbDream(File file, String text, Long userId) throws Exception{
			Image image = ImageIO.read(file);
			BufferedImage img=bufferImage(image);
			Graphics2D g = (Graphics2D) img.getGraphics();
			g.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,
                    RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
			[b]Font fnt=new Font("danteMt",1,20);[/b]
			Color fntC = new Color(0, 102, 153);      
			g.setColor(fntC);
			g.setFont(fnt);
			Dimension d = new Dimension(200, 113);
                        drawCenteredString(text, d.width, d.height, g);
}
public static void drawCenteredString(String s, int w, int h, Graphics g) {
	        FontMetrics fm = g.getFontMetrics();
	        int x = (w - fm.stringWidth(s)) / 2;
	        int y = (fm.getAscent() + (h - (fm.getAscent() + fm.getDescent())) / 2);
	        g.drawString(s, x, y);
	  }

you'll need to have the font file to achieve that

Is that for all fonts or just certain ones? I also tried Georgia and it really didn't change anything...see attached..

Thanks, Georgia is a font there. I think I may have a bug or I've not implemented something right. When I use Font fnt=new Font("Wingdings-Regular",Font.PLAIN,80); It doesn't look like wingdings, see attached. That is a supported java font...any ideas?
