I don't need to comment them out, as I have them, and there is no problem with them.
My problem is with the ugliness of the fonts in Java1.2. In order to avoid bringing in
my subjective ideas regarding beauty/ugliness, let me simply state:
The appearance of any JFC demo application run on JDK1.2 does not look the same when
run on JDK1.1.7 + swing libs. All components in the former scenario take up much more
space.
I am simply wondering, what does it take to get a Linux system with XFree86-3.3.3
fonts and additional urw fonts to display Swing apps correctly, i.e., the way they
used to be displayed, the way they look on screenshots at Sun's website? I have found
all "solutions" thus far presented on the list to fail in this requirement (a strong
word, I know, but isn't UI predictability what JFC is all about?). I might be setting
something incorrectly, but I haven't heard anyone mention that any of the solutions
actually accomplish this.
Cheers,
-Armen
