Whenever I view the following page in either appletviewer or hotjava on
the PC in my office, the viewing application stops being able to display
stuff, and I can't quit it by closing its window. The disk is making lots of
noise, too, and performance is very sluggish. Solaris and the Mac view the
two applets on this page just fine. Here's the page URL:

    http://cafedead/~kwalrath/tutorialLink/ui/drawing/drawingText.html

I suspect it's the second applet, which uses FontMetrics, that's the culprit,
since the first applet on the page is very simple. You can find the source
code for the applet here:

The applet is an "enhanced" version of the following applet, which works
just fine on all platforms:
