Compile and run the following program. Note that the List and Choice item cells are not large enough to hold the set font. This happens anytime the font is set after the peer has been created. If you move the setVisible call after the setFont calls, the List and Choice display properly. However, we need the ability to change the font of a component on the fly at runtime. There is no workaround; BTW the MS VM works as needed.

import java.awt.*;
public class bug {
   public static void main( String[] args) {
      Frame frame = new Frame();
      frame.setLayout( new FlowLayout() );
      Choice choice = new Choice();
      choice.add("One");
      choice.add("Two");
      choice.add("Three");
      choice.add("Four");
      frame.add(choice);
      List list = new List();
      list.add("One");
      list.add("Two");
      list.add("Three");
      list.add("Four");
      frame.add(list);
      frame.setVisible(true); // this method call
      Font font = new Font("Dialog", Font.PLAIN, 24);
      choice.setFont(font);
      list.setFont(font);
      //frame.setVisible(true);
   }
}
