Public bug reported: JDK and JRE deb packages should be better integrated and use this new font in GTK look and feel. Vanilla fresh Ubuntu 11.04 use Ubuntu font size 12 that is matched to very ugly (most probably) Dejavu Sans font and looks extremely large in comparance to the true native GTK apps.
I suggest that JRE doesn't see Ubuntu font and it has to be added to /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/lib/fonts. Also mapping has to be set in some file in /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/lib I've tried it to map it before, but I was not successful. I hope that somebody more experienced will help with it.
