        JRE: 1.6.0_u10

        The width of Monospaced font characters drawn on JTextField differ from the JRE1.4.2.
        In most of the font size, the width of character is bigger than width what was shown in JRE1.4.2.

        This differences are not seen on Solaris 10 with ja locale.
        And the other logical fonts (SansSerif, Serif, Dialog, DiallgInpug) seems not
        have this issue.(means, looks same width between JRE6 and 1.4.2)

        This difference causes issue on customer's application which is trying to update JRE from 1.4.2 to 6.
        Because the applicatoin's JTextField has fixed width which were arranged for
        the Monospaced font shown in JRE1.4.2, now it faces lack of characters that should be shown.

        The customer requires Monospaced font characters to be drawn as same width as what was in JRE1.4.2.
