Ok, I'll try to explain. The standard fonts (times, courier etc.) are mapped fix to Java fonts (Serif, MonoSpaced etc. - which are actually truetype fonts I think). Additonal (truetype) fonts are loaded with a method in java.awt.Font which was first introduced in jdk1.3 (The font is loaded with the full path and not created with the name). While running under jdk1.2 the NoSuchMethodException is caught and one of the standard fonts will be used instead. This way it was already done in 0.20.3. Hope this clarifys the issue a bit. > Peter Christian --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
