To get around this problem, one can put the standard Windows "web fonts" on the non-Windows system and configure the JVM to use the other fonts. The issue appears to be that the AWT uses only the fonts distributed with the JVM when determining the size of a field, and the font metrics are different than those used on Windows.
These are the font files: arial32.exe Arialbd.TTF Arialbi.TTF Ariali.TTF Arial.TTF fonts.dir LICENSE.txt LucidaBrightDemiBold.ttf LucidaBrightDemiItalic.ttf LucidaBrightItalic.ttf LucidaBrightRegular.ttf LucidaSansDemiBold.ttf LucidaSansDemiOblique.ttf LucidaSansOblique.ttf LucidaSansRegular.ttf LucidaTypewriterBoldOblique.ttf LucidaTypewriterBold.ttf LucidaTypewriterOblique.ttf LucidaTypewriterRegular.ttf Then set the environment variable JAVA_FONTS to point to the directory in which you have put these fonts. When you start the JVM, it will use the JAVA_FONTS environment variable to use the new fonts.
