I'm not much of a Java Developer, but Swing was supposed to solve the problem 
of cross-platform GUI development. Have you tried specifying your font size by 
pixel height?

Back in the days when I was using both Swing and AWT for things, I 
noticed this same issue.  I mainly believe this stems from differences 
in fonts between Solaris, for instance, and linux.  I would notice that 
fonts that looked fine in Solaris would look bold, and much larger, on 
Linux (or vice versa).  This, of course, would cause Java's 
horrib^H^H^Hgreat layout system to rearrange widgets on the screen, 
resulting in some funky looking windows.

The interm fix I used most of the time was to just resize the window 
until things looked ok.  I never spent any time investigating a way to 
definitively solve the problem.
