Graphics.drawString() method does not work correctly when environment variable
JAVA2D_USEPLATFORMFONT is not set.
Frame window of the following test contains container in container panel. This container
in its own paint(Graphics) method invokes Graphics.drawString().
When system environment variable JAVA2D_USEPLATFORMFONT is not set, you can see
a dot on the left upper corner of the container.

The same behavior is observed on Solaris.

As we see from JDK note, variable JAVA2D_USEPLATFORMFONT is now deprecated and will be
removed in the next build.

      g.drawString("Lightweight Container", 10, getSize().height/2);

   public Dimension getPreferredSize() {
      return new Dimension(165, 40);
   }
}

public class test extends Frame {
   static Frame testFrame = null;
   static Panel containerPanel;
   
   public static void main(String[] argv) {
      testFrame = new Frame("Lightweight Container Test");
      testFrame.setSize(200, 100);
      
      containerPanel = new Panel();
      containerPanel.add(new ctr());
      
      testFrame.add("Center", containerPanel);
      testFrame.setVisible(true);
   }
