Hi I am working on a java project which requires use of Swing and Java2D I am having some problems with setting things up on a RedHat5.2 (2.0.36) machine. First I installed Swing with jdk1.1 and it worked perfectly -- reliable and fast. Then I realized that 2D doesn't work with jdk1.1 so I installed jdk1.2. Now it works but all awt applications, especially Swing are too slow -- response time is big enough to make it unusable. The only clue to the problem I can see is font not found error messages like this: Font specified in font.properties not found [--zapf dingbats-medium-r-normal--*-%d-*-*-p-*-adobe-fontspecific] So my question is -- are there any ways to speed jdk1.2 up? Or may be it is possible to make 2D work with jdk1.1 (preferable) Any chance that the problem is font-related or is it just jdk1.2 being slow? all info on the topic is appriciated. tia! -mk ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
