Description

Name: krT82822			Date: 12/21/98


A button with the default system font in Windows is 23 pixels tall including its border.  The corresponding JButton is much taller, giving it a
non-native appearance.  While the exact definition for the standard button height is "14 dialog units" where a dialog unit is 1/8 of the average
height of a character in the current font, a close approximation with less padding would be sufficient.

    The default button margin for BasicLookAndFeel.java
is set to the value Insets(2,14,2,14) and this causes the
button become too large

 We won't fix it for the Win95 L&F, 
 but it will be done when we do the Win98 L&F.

    The bug is no longer reproducible since build 66
The height of WinLAF's JButton is proper now.
