Hi John,

What do you mean by "since Java is shipping 1.2.1..."?  Right now the latest
version I can find in javasoft is still 1.2.

If you mean "when" instead of since, well, I would put a lot of money that
JDK 1.2.1 will have much more changes than those in the new Swing.  Very
likely, some changes in native libraries, so a bit of porting for Linux will
be necessary.  I'm also sure this next JDK will be shipped before (and
probably very near) to April 27, because Sun will never be stupid enough to
release HotSpot and have it looking bad compared to 1.1-class VMs because of
the JDK 1.2's performance problems, e.g. in graphics.

Subject: Since Java is Shipping 1.2.1 with numerous fixes already in Swing
1.1.1B will Final release have the corrections?


An example is the recent Command Console program that fails to run on 1.2
prev.
Secondly, can I set default Font in the JDK ?

The Font's are HUGE eve though I added Gimp fonts and all is well there.

Hate to sound negative for a pre-release I have had no major problems with
the exception of bug submmited earlier.

Keep up the good work and have a nice day!

john
