Did you try sun-java6-fonts already? > What should I do to debug the reason? You might have bitmap fonts enabled, which can cause the kind of problem you describe, at least with certain applications. I don't know if this configuration is relevant for java, though. If you want to check this, run: debconf-get-selections | grep fontconfig/enable_bitmaps (The debconf-get-selections utility is in package debconf-utils.) If you see that bitmap fonts are enabled then you can use dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config to turn them off, restart Xorg and hope that java will choose nicer fonts after that. > In my KDE Debian GNU/Linux system all other fonts look fine. KDE does not use bitmap fonts by default. -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
