Chris,

As that only happens after trying to mess around unsuccessfully with
fonts, I'm going to ignore it for a bit until I can fix the font problem
and hope it goes away on its own.  (Update from below: I haven't seen
this error after updating Java.)

Hmm.  Thanks.

If I run ~/j602/bin/jwd, I now get a monospaced font.  Because the font
in the Configure dialog is so big, I saw the "Set D..." button and
figured that set the default, so I kept pushing it.  Obviously that
_returns_ J to the default behavior, so it's not surprising I kept a
proportionally-spaced font.

The font in the Configure dialog is still pretty big, though.

At 8 pt., the font in the ijx window is pretty big, too; in the default
window size, I only get about 14 or 15 lines, and I thought I saw more
in Windows.  It's certainly workable, but labs (for example) require
more scrolling (or a window adjustment), it seems.

  BTW, you refer to jwdp in the wiki; is that what you call the file
  called jwd when it's Java on Linux or OS X, or should I also see a
  jwdp file somewhere?

Nope; I simply installed the version on the J site as of late last
week...

... and I ran Pacman as recently as last night or this morning, which
brought me the latest base system.

Thanks; this seems to have helped.  

If you've got an idea how to shrink the font even more (below 8 pt.) in
the ijx window or in dialogs, I'm listening.
