My reading of Oleg's wiki page is that you just need to set the fontsize to be half the size you'd normally use.
Hopefully in a future version of J this issue will be addressed. However given the original cause of your problem there may be other complicating factors, unfortunately however I'm not able to offer much in the way of assistance there. > From: Matthew Brand > > I do not understand how to fix it ... could somebody say step by step > what I need to do? > > I have uninstalled sun-java6-bin and installed sun-java-5-bin, but > still have big fonts. > > I have downloaded the fontsize.ijs and run it, but I still have the big > fonts. > > I have downloaded FontChooser.class but do not know anything about > Java (apart from I don't like it). javac was not available so I > installed openjdk-6-jdk (which apparently has got it), but then: > > m...@mb-laptop:~/Desktop$ javac -cp . /home/mb/Desktop/FontChooser.class > javac: invalid flag: /home/mb/Desktop/FontChooser.class > Usage: javac <options> <source files> > use -help for a list of possible options > > Thanks, > Matthew. > > On Sat, May 30, 2009 at 12:30 AM, Sherlock, Ric wrote: > > The problem with huge fonts on Linux has been raised on the forums a > number of times. > > Oleg has put together a nice wiki page describing the problem > > > > http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Typesetting/Font%20Size/Java%206 > > > > http://www.jsoftware.com/pipermail/general/2008-October/032374.html > > > > http://www.jsoftware.com/pipermail/general/2009-March/032876.html > > > > http://www.jsoftware.com/pipermail/general/2009-April/032912.html > > > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
