Its been a couple of weeks but yesterday finally looked into this.
The problem is indeed specific to the version of the font on Vista
and so affects 32 and 64 bit.
When Microsoft added support for Arabic (etc) to the Times New Roman
font (and others) they added an OpenType 'GPOS' table which is
And my previous statement that it works on Vista 32-bit
was incorrect..
Thanks,

The kerning applet example on the Java 2D tutorial shows no difference between
kerning and no kerning.

But you aren't using the same font as the previous reporter.
Serif on Linux uses Lucida Bright, which has no 'kern' table,
so that is expected.

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:

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
