EVALUATION I have tested this bug on Windows 2000 and cannot reproduce it either. Note that you must reboot when you change the font settings in Win2k. After the reboot the JFileChooser matches native dialogs. I'm marking this as not reproduceable.

EVALUATION I cannot reproduce this on XP with Tiger RC, Tiger u5, or the latest Mustang. Will test 2000.
