JEditorPane is unable to do reasonably spaced indentation. The indentation distance
is much too long. The problem gets even worse with 1.4.2 and 1.5.0.

The problem is strictly reproducible:

1. Testcase
-----------
Please find entire testcase attached:

% more Test.java
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.text.*;
import javax.swing.text.html.*;

public class Test extends JFrame
{
  JEditorPane txt;
  HTMLEditorKit c;
  HTMLDocument doc;

  class WindowClose extends WindowAdapter {
    public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
        System.exit(0);
    }
  }

  public Test()
  {
    super("Test");
    setSize(500,300);
    addWindowListener(new WindowClose());
    JEditorPane jep = new JEditorPane();
    jep.setEditable(false);
    HTMLEditorKit c= new HTMLEditorKit();
    jep.setEditorKit(c);
    try {
      jep.setPage(getClass().getResource("D-KA-0008170.html"));
    } catch (Exception e) {}
    HTMLDocument doc=(HTMLDocument)jep.getDocument();
    getContentPane().add(new JScrollPane(jep));
    setVisible(true);
  }

  public static void main(String argv[])
  {
    new Test();
  }
}

2. Compile and run
------------------
% make 
/j2sdk1_3_1_16/bin/javac Test.java 
% make run
/j2sdk1_3_1_16/bin/java -version
java version "1.3.1_16"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1_16-b06)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.1_16-b06, mixed mode)
/j2sdk1_3_1_16/bin/java Test
[ application window will appear ... ]

 Please note that the indentaion is correct however the indentation offset of
 all dashed items is much too long.

3. Display html in browser like mozilla and compare
