When using the Redhat 6.1 font server with the true type faces Arial, Courier
New and Times New Roman, the characters are horizontally squeezed. The
characters in an (swing) application doesn't look clean and especially the text
in a JTextArea (when courier new is used), the text is hard to read. This
problem doesn't occure with jdk1.2.2-006 (linux) or any jdk1.1 version from the
blackdown porting group. In every jdk I use the same font.properties file.
(Included in this page.) I've made some screenshots to show you what I mean. You
can find the screenshots at:
