Tested with Merlin-beta b20 on Solaris2.6, 7 and 8.

java version "1.4.0beta"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0beta-b20)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.0rc3-Z, interpreted mode)

Strings drawn by graphics2D.drawString are not printed properly for some Font(listed below) and BOLD style with PrinterJob.

SansSerif/BOLD
DialogInput/BOLD
Dialog/BOLD

The intervals between characters are wider than other styles.
In addition, as to Dialog/BOLD, each inverval is not equal.

Strings can be printed properly with SansSerif, DialogInput, Dialog/PLAIN, ITALIC, BOLDITALIC Styles.

Serif and Monospaced can work fine for all Styles.

To reproduce,
1. Compile an attached program(PrintFont.java) with merlin.
2. Run PrintFont
This program sends an order to print a sample strings with all Fonts/PLAIN, BOLD, ITALIC to a printer.
Please check the results, according to the description above.


Tested with Kestrel on Solaris2.6, 7 and 8.

java version "1.3.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.0-C)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.0-C, interpreted mode)

There is some problem about DialogInput.
The same phenomenon as merlin is seen for DialogInput/BOLD.
The intervals between characters are wider than other font.

In addtion, a different Font seems to be used for printing between DialogInput/BOLD and DialogInput/PLAIN,ITALIC.

To reproduce,
Please run PrintFont with kestrel and check the result of DialogInput.
