But that's OK - these schemes aren't meant to be used on all platforms. In other words, no one should be using the Mac OS X theme on Windows XP, so if we use a Mac-specific font, it won't be an issue. > And last, I've just made other tests with Pivot 1.5.2 and latest 2.0 > applets on a Ubuntu-10.04 VM, and (as said before, in another thread), > to see applets working (from a visual point of view) I had to install > the sun-java6 package and related plugin, then uninstall the IcedTea > from the previous OpenJDK installation (but without removing the rest > of OpenJDK), and finally set the sun-java6 as default Java. > I'm sorry to say but probably the IcedTea plugin has some problem with > our and others Applets. > Just for reference ... Yes, there are a number of issues with the Iced Tea plugin, and they are not all specific to Pivot. I have heard multiple reports that applets in general simply don't work. So there's probably not a whole lot we can do here. G
