Are you using non standard fonts? If so, you would have to make sure that
the same fonts are installed in the font directory of the Unix/Linux box.

See the /usr/java/<jre>/lib/fonts folder on the Unix boxes.

Also, make sure that you are using the PluggableLookAnd Feel for xPlatform
work.

Example:

try {
      UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
    }
    catch(Exception e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }

Howdy!

Here are the fonts that are in the subdir you indicated:

fonts.dir
LucidaBrightDemiBold.ttf
LucidaBrightDemiItalic.ttf
LucidaBrightItalic.ttf
LucidaBrightRegular.ttf
LucidaSansDemiBold.ttf
LucidaSansDemiOblique.ttf
LucidaSansOblique.ttf
LucidaSansRegular.ttf
LucidaTypewriterBoldOblique.ttf
LucidaTypewriterBold.ttf
LucidaTypewriterOblique.ttf
LucidaTypewriterRegular.ttf

Here is a code fragment that I used to play around with the font:

        Font   fMyFont = contentPane.getFont();

        if ( bDebugMode ) System.out.println("BEFORE: Font >" +
fMyFont.toString() + "<");
        if ( bDebugMode ) System.out.println("BEFORE: Font Family >" +
fMyFont.getFamily() + "<");

        contentPane.setFont(new java.awt.Font("Courier", Font.PLAIN, 8));

        fMyFont = contentPane.getFont();

        if ( bDebugMode ) System.out.println("AFTER: Font >" +
fMyFont.toString() + "<");
        if ( bDebugMode ) System.out.println("AFTER: Font Family >" +
fMyFont.getFamily() + "<");

Here is the output from the fragment:

BEFORE: Font >javax.swing.plaf.FontUIResource[family=sansserif,name=MS Sans
Serif,style=plain,size=11]<
BEFORE: Font Family >sansserif<
AFTER: Font
>java.awt.Font[family=monospaced,name=Courier,style=plain,size=8]<
AFTER: Font Family >monospaced<

I then substituted the following for the above setFont:
contentPane.setFont(new java.awt.Font("LucidaSansRegular", Font.PLAIN, 8));

But it didn't seem to make any difference when I tried running this on
Linux.

Thanks.

Regards,
Steve.
