10 Mar 2000, eval1127@eng -- this renders fine for 48- or 64-point type, but displays the user-noted anomaly at 52 points.
In Wordpad on NT 4.0 SP 6a, the same character (font, bold + italic, 52 point) does not exhibit the problem.

  public static void main(String [] args) {
    Frame f = new Frame();
    f.setSize(400,300);
    f.setVisible(true);
    Graphics2D g = (Graphics2D) f.getGraphics();

    //These 2 lines are necessary or the Impact font will not load at all !!
    GraphicsEnvironment ge = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
    String [] s = ge.getAvailableFontFamilyNames();

    Font font = new Font("Impact", Font.ITALIC + Font.BOLD, 52);
    FontRenderContext frc = g.getFontRenderContext();
    TextLayout txtlayout = new TextLayout("0", font, frc);
    txtlayout.draw(g, 20,100);

    
  }
}


Run this little example and notice that an unwanted dot is added at the bottom
right of the '0' digit. The font used is Impact from windows NT 4.0. The
problem should not be due to the font because it works OK in Word.
