Comments
EVALUATION This looks like a Java 2D issue. Re-assigning for evaluation. ###@###.### 2004-01-08 ================================== These are duplicates of 4919654 : Capital C with Microsoft Sans Serif looks different from native 4923677 : Microsoft Sans Serif "8" rendered differently in 1.4.x So this didn't really start in 1.4.2 the "8" looks identical in 1.4.2 as it does in 1.5 although the "C" is perhaps marginally better in 1.4.2 than 1.5. Since both the above bugs are closed as dups of 4924220: Microsoft Sans Serif (True Type) font is not rendered properly I am also closing this bug as a dup of that one. PS please do not use JPEG for screen dumps of fonts. JPEG loses information and its hard to see exactly what was dumped. Use PNG instead. ###@###.### 2004-01-08 =============================
