JDK-5036762 - 1.4.2_05 needs ja font.properties for RedHat AS 3.0
Description
java version "1.4.2_05-ea"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_05-ea-b01)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_05-ea-b01, mixed mode)

Please look into the attached image. [RHAS3_awttest.jpg]
Other components such as labels, buttons, etc are ok.
The problem isn't happening on RedHat AS 2.1.
This version of RedHat has other font issues 5036762 also. I'm not sure if this problem depends on 5036762 or not yet.

EVALUATION This may be related to 5036762 ###@###.### 2004-04-23 Is this reproducible in tiger? ###@###.### 2004-04-23 No this is not happening in tiger. ###@###.### 2004-04-26 ---- Actually, there is a problem in ja font.properties and this is being addressed as 5033464 instead of 5036762 now. I believe this will be a major issue for the tools products (stakeholder). According to 5033464, it should be escalated to be fixed in 1.4.2_05 if required because the stakeholders will use this release of JDK on RHEL AS 3.0 and the English version of 1.4.2_xx supports the RHEL AS 3.0. http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/system-configurations.html ###@###.### 2004-04-26
