I had a look at Linux with beta v and it
seems like it has the same font size problem
that is now fixed for Mac.

See the screenshot, which compares fonts in
J session, a font sampler and Mozilla, etc. browsers.

If the same phenomenon is visible on other systems
(that J fonts at size 13 look like 10pt in a browser),
then its the same problem as was fixed for Mac.

On Windows, the fonts in Java are OK.

    <div style="font:10pt Arial">

    <p>15*4%3 = 20</p>

    <div style="font:15pt Arial">
