The fonts delivered by SUN as .../jre/lib/fonts/* and used when
employing the standard .../jre/lib/fonts.properties only work with
75dpi resolution when using an X-Server that really relies on the font
height information inside the font as Xfree86 4.2.x does. (c.f. XFree
docs). Fonts heights reporte are just wrong when display resolution
is greater then 75dpi.

          If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is
          newer than the above date, look for a newer version before
          reporting problems. (See http://www.XFree86.Org/)

boot into console usually runlevel 3 no X.

start a X-server with 106 dpi resolution

startx -- :0 -dpi 106 &

start FontRes.class
java FontRes
(see 75dpi.gif)
start FontTest and see what font height is reported.
java FontTest

switch back to the console

start a X-server with 75 dpi resolution

startx -- :1 -dpi 75 &

start FontRes.class
java FontRes
(see 106dpi.gif)


compare the different font cell heights and the overall appearance.
also have a look in the font heights reported by FontTest.java

Please have a look for the test case in the attached zip file.
The zip file features as well 2 screen shots.
