Hi Jonathan > Thanks for this.

You can install Watanabe/Wadalab truetype font from /usr/ports/japanese/truetypefonts/. Watanabe/Wadalab font is former default free Japanese scalable font. And now, Yasuyuki Furukawa-san is tackling creation of a new Japanese free scalable font; Kochi-font (/usr/ports/japanese/kochi-ttfonts/, http://www.on.cs.keio.ac.jp/~yasu/jp_fonts.html). Kochi font is developed based on the Watanabe/Wadalab font. And two or more bitmap fonts are built in. Therefore, Kochi font is finely displayed also with a small font. And the scalable font itself is improved. Already, Japanese-related ports is improved so that Kochi font may be used. Probably, if nothing happens especially, Kochi font will become a standard Japanese free scalable font on FreeBSD. If you use JDK140 or over, you can use font with full built- in bitmap fonts. Unfortunately, you cannot use bitmap font built-in feature with JDK131. JDK131 font engine uses Kochi font as scalable font without bitmap built-in fonts. Supposing you can use Kochi font in JDK, please perform Notepad.jar to a trial. JDK140's one is better than JDK131's one. -- Daichi GOTO http://www.ongs.net/daichi, daichi@jp.freebsd.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
