Is there a way to set up Java to use Arphic fonts instead?
Please try http://software.opensuse.org/download/M17N/SUSE_Linux_10.1/noarch/fonts-conf... and run "SuSEconfig --module fonts" (or /usr/sbin/fonts-config). I have improved the Java 1.5 setup done by this script a little bit. Previously it did check which fonts are available and used the "best" ones only for Japanese. For Chinese the Founder fonts were hard-coded, for Korean the Baekmuk fonts. The new version of the script writes entries using the Founder fonts into the configuration file /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0_07/jre/lib/fontconfig.SuSE.propertie if the Founder fonts are available but uses the Arphic fonts if the Founder fonts are not available. For Korean it now uses the fonts from the package "unfonts" if installed and the Baekmuk fonts if not.
In addition, I have the feeling that arphic look better.
I just tested using "cgoban.jar" as a test case and indeed
the Arphic fonts seem to look a bit better.
That is strange because usually (i.e. in most other programs) the
Founder fonts look better. And they are also more complete (have more
rare glyphs than the Arphic fonts).
Therefore I guess I should stay with using the Founder fonts by
default if they are installed.
