java version "1.4.0-beta2"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0-beta2-b77)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.0-beta2-b77, mixed mode)


I printed a page on a HP LaserJet 5 from an application, which works
fine using jdk 1.3.1. But when I'm using 1.4.0-Beta 2, all letters
and lines are much bigger. It is 4 times the size of the letters
and lines using jdk 1.3.1.

The following is the test program that reproduce the different results.

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.FontMetrics;

class ArbeitDrucken extends JFrame {

  static String schrifttyp = "SansSerif";
  static int schriftgroesse = 10;
  static int rechterRand = 560;
  static final java.awt.Font font = new java.awt.Font(schrifttyp,java.awt.Font.PLAIN,schriftgroesse);
  static JFrame jframe;

  static void Ueberschrift(Graphics graphics, String ueberschriftDruck) {
    graphics.drawString(ueberschriftDruck, 50, 140);
    graphics.drawLine(47,125,rechterRand+3,125);
    graphics.drawLine(47,145,rechterRand+3,145);
    graphics.drawLine(47,125,47,145);
    graphics.drawLine(rechterRand+3,125,rechterRand+3,145);
  }

  static void Drucken(JFrame jframe) {
    java.awt.Toolkit toolkit = java.awt.Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
    java.util.Properties properties = new java.util.Properties();
    java.awt.PrintJob printjob = toolkit.getPrintJob(jframe,"Drucken",properties);
    Graphics graphics = printjob.getGraphics();
    FontMetrics fontmetrics = graphics.getFontMetrics(font);
    graphics.setFont(font);
    Ueberschrift(graphics, "This is a test");
    graphics.dispose();
    printjob.end();
  }

  public static void main(String args[]) {
    jframe = new JFrame();
    Drucken(jframe);
  }

}

Problem occurs on german Windows NT 4.0 SP 5 with
HP LaserJet 5 and also on german Windows 95 with
HP LaserJet 5P.

Three-page result is included in an attached file. They were printed
on A4-sized-paper and scanned with 300 dpi as tiff-files.
