Hi Brian,

Since a picture worth thousand words, here comes two :-)
The first screenshot is made using sun-jdk, the other one with the new
openjdk port.

A lot of difference regarding font properties in various panels can be
seen: font size, type, emphasis, right margin (e.g. red line)

(Sorry for not giving high fidelty in other non-relevant aspects.)

IntelliJ's IDEA still looks bad. I can make similar screenshots in
case you need.

Thanks for your work!
Zsolt
