I've found that Stylebook under Sun's JDK 1.2 for Linux looked terrible, but
with IBMs JDK 1.3 for Linux the fonts seemed as good as than the Windows
equivalent, possibly better.  It seems that Sun/Blackdown screwed up the
font selection code (I could also only use about 70% of my installed fonts
in Java) whereas IBM got it right.

The only issue I know of, is the broken distribution of Xerces 1.1.2.
Some of the MakeFiles were not updated with new source files, a couple of
classes like RevalidatingDOMParser are missing.
