I have been assuming that this is a bug in the Linux JDK1.2 prerelease.
If I run the following on Linux/Java1.2:
import java.awt.*;
public class FT
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Font f = new Font("Monospaced",Font.PLAIN,14);
FontMetrics fm = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getFontMetrics(f);
System.out.println("Height is " + fm.getHeight());
System.out.println("Leading is " + fm.getLeading());
System.out.println("Ascent is " + fm.getAscent());
System.out.println("Descent is " + fm.getDescent());
}
}
I get:
Height is 28
Leading is 0
Ascent is 17
Descent is 11
Whereas on WinNT JDK12, I get
Height is 20
Leading is 0
Ascent is 15
Descent is 5
This is all despite the fact that the TTF font files shipped in both
distributions have the same size
and checksums.
