WORK AROUND For HotJava browser the text seems to be OK now. For the applet we have another case (4135855) which does not allow to say is the drawing proper or not. ======================================================== workaround, -J-Djava2d.font.usePlatformFont=true, works for onscreen drawing. paul.charlton@eng 1998-05-10
