I am trying to use kerning when displaying text using the following code:
[code]
MapTextAttribute, Object textAttributes = new HashMapTextAttribute,
Object();
textAttributes.put(TextAttribute.KERNING, TextAttribute.KERNING_ON);
textAttributes.put(TextAttribute.FONT, font);
I see that the font attribute overrides other attributes so I have now tried
this:
[code]
MapTextAttribute, Object textAttributes = new HashMapTextAttribute,
Object();
textAttributes.put(TextAttribute.KERNING, TextAttribute.KERNING_ON);
textAttributes.put(TextAttribute.FAMILY, Serif);
Take a look at this preso if you haven't already:

Slides 42-43.
And, of course:

That didn't help but I have noticed that the examples on this page:
ttp://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/2d/text/textattributes.html
show no effect with kerning on or off on my Vista machine but do show a
difference on XP.
Could this be a bug under Vista?

Dmitri's pointers are valid.
Vista shouldn't make a difference to 2D since the code isn't OS specific
and isn't making any OS provided
calls. Perhaps the fonts just aren't the same. I do believe that Times
New Roman etc were expanded for Vista.
Still, that is surprising. Don't have Vista handy
I have done a bit more testing by adding setting of ligature attributes and the
results are the same: no kerning on Vista x64 but kerning working on XP.
Actually, I am using JSE 6 Update 10 (b11) so perhaps it has something to do
with that? I'll post in the appropriate forum for that release
