pcworld, thanks for that test case. Some helpful debug output can be had by running it like this:
java -Dsun.java2d.debugfonts=true TestCase It's especially instructive to do that after: gsettings reset org.gnome.desktop.interface font-name and after: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface font-name 'DejaVu Sans 11' # or 'Droid Sans 11', or something else and compare the results. This does seem to work properly in current trusty. I'll try to figure out whether it was fixed by a change in openjdk-7 or in some other package. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/937200 Title: Fat fonts in Swing applications To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fonts-unfonts-core/+bug/937200/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
