What could be causing the memory leak in my paint method?

Question

As I usually do when I make a game in Java, I create an object to handle the graphics. But, never before have I had a memory leak somewhere inside the "main" paint method. It's never happened before, so I don't know what it could be. My guess is it has something to do with the Images/retrieving the images, because if I wipe the cache clean and reload them each time, it doesn't appear to leak memory. Any ideas?

Question: What could be the cause of a memory leak in the following:

[Edit] It turns out it actually was the Fonts. Thanks.

Paint method for reference:

    g.setColor(Color.BLACK);
    Font font1 = null;
    Font font2 = null;
    try {
        font1 = Font.createFont(Font.TRUETYPE_FONT, new File(
                "./cache/fonts/Minecraftia.ttf"));

And here is the ImageCache object:

public final class ImageCache {

    try {
        images.add(ImageIO.read(new File(path)));
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        return;
    }
    ids.add(id);
}

public void writeCache() {
    String path = "./cache/sprites/gameframe/";
    File f = new File(path);
    byte[] b;
    String zipFile = "./Cache.dat";
    FileOutputStream fout = null;
    try {
        fout = new FileOutputStream(zipFile);
    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    ZipOutputStream zout = new ZipOutputStream(new BufferedOutputStream(
            fout));

    File[] s = f.listFiles();
    for (int i = 0; i < s.length; i++) {
        b = new byte[2028];
        FileInputStream fin = null;
        try {
            fin = new FileInputStream(s[i]);
            zout.putNextEntry(new ZipEntry(s[i].getName()));
            int length;
            while ((length = fin.read(b, 0, 1024)) > 0) {
                zout.write(b, 0, length);
            }
            zout.closeEntry();
            fin.close();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
    try {
        zout.close();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

public void clearCache() {
    images.clear();
    ids.clear();
}

public void loadPermanentImage(String path, int id) {
    try {
        permanentImages.add(ImageIO.read(new File(path)));
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        return;
    }
    pids.add(id);
}

public BufferedImage getImage(int id) {
    for (int i = 0; i < ids.size(); i++) {
        if (ids.get(i) == id) {
            return images.get(i);
        }
    }
    return null;
}

public BufferedImage getPermaImage(int id) {
    for (int i = 0; i < pids.size(); i++) {
        if (pids.get(i) == id) {
            return permanentImages.get(i);
        }
    }
    return null;
}

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Don't know if it will cause a memory leak or not but you should NOT be doing any file I/O in any painting method.

So you should NOT be reading the Font files every time the method is called.
