RE: bold font rendering problem (was :- problem with text Scale t rans form on bold font)

Hi Thomas,
I should have posted a non-working example.
Try changing weight to bold and look with magnification particularly at the
numbers 2 and 3.
I have attached screenshots.

Thanks for rapid response.

Patrick

Hi Patrick,

    Works for me.  Can you provide small screen shots?  Also
your example was for 'normal' not bold rendering.  So describing
exactly how you got the distorted bold rendering might be helpful.

Re: bold font rendering problem (was :- problem with text Scale t rans form on bold font)

Hi Patrick,

    It looks like the problem is that the 1.3 JDK isn't using the Times
New Roman Bold font it was generating the bold version.

    Two possible solutions:
	1) Switch the JDK 1.4 for me at least 1.4 appears to be using
            the bold font.
         2) Explicitly reference the true type font, or generate an SVG
            Font from the bold times font, assuming the usecase makes
	   this practical and you respect the appropriate licenses.
