I for many years I've used a small java program to monitor my e-mail that is in many ways unique (mailfaces). The problem was that since opensuse 10.2 or may be 10.1 was not stable, occasionally freezing the screen. Under opensuse 11.1 (java 1.6) is very stable and I have not had any problems. The only thing is that the fonts do not look as good as in the previous version. The same is happening with all the java applications I run (freemind etc). I still have not found a way to configure the fonts for java at system level. In summary to have mailfaces on all the time is a major plus for me.
Just curious - are the apps AWT, SWING, SWT or commandline?
I would think that - for Swing or SWT apps, they'd use a default system font. I do that on my Java apps.
Fonts always used to be specified in a properties file. That allows the program to make platform independent references to something that is usually platform specific. Check out: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/guide/intl/fontprop.html This relates to Java 1.3, and I know that these files exist in 1.6, but I don't know if the means of using them might have changed. Hopefully this gives you something to work with. Cheers, Simon "You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers.
