I have an problem with font sizes changing in my session window and in form 
controls.

I'm running Jwdp in Ubuntu in a virtual machine with VMWare tools installed. 
This means that when I adjust the size of window containing the virtual 
machine,  the "monitor size" of the guest OS changes to fit the size of the 
window. 

If I start the J session with the VM in a small window (eg 1024x768), when I 
increase the size of the window, the fonts in the J sesson remain at the same 
size as they were before (VM desktop is just bigger) - that's good. 
However if I now start a new J session (whether the first is closed or not 
first) the font used to display J code in the ijx & ijs windows and to populate 
form controls (except menus) is much bigger in the 2nd session.

The reverse happens if I go from a big to a small window. The font size 
specified in Edit|Configure|Display doesn't change.

What information does J use to decide how big to display fonts in Jwdp? I quite 
like working in full screen on my 1680x1050 screen, but when I do that, 
whenever I want to start a new J session, I have to resize the window to be 
small, or else I get huge text.

Any ideas on a workaround for this?
