Never mind this question, but I have another:

I have an applet in which I have the following:

    g.drawString("pccharWidth  =
"+g.getFontMetrics().charWidth('W'),20,100);
    g.drawString("pccharHeight = "+g.getFontMetrics().getHeight(),20,120);

when I run this applet in the IDE, I get pccharWidth = 10 and pccharHeight =
18.  However, when I run the .jar file in IE5 (on the same machine) I get
pccharWith 10 but pccharHeight = 22!

the font in question is "Monospaced", 16.

What's going on here?

thanks

James
