Looks like you are using Sun's bundled Lucida fonts instead of the system fonts. E.g. Lucida Sans Typewriter for "Monospaced" in Swing. That and the low-quality of Java's integrated font renderer (it is a third-party product Sun bundles with the JDK) are notorious for ugly looking fonts. Try to play with the undocumented swing.useSystemFontSettings system property. [Message sent by forum member 'ewin' (ewin)]
