I just tried out the JDK 1.5 VM hoping they had improved since 1.4.1, but no luck. In Yahoo game rooms, there are some small fonts, describing table settings like the time limit and whether the game is rated, that look fine with the Microsoft VM, but are almost illegible with the Sun VM. Is there any way to get the Sun VM to handle fonts better?

This why small font sizes are so grungy looking." So, the answer to my question is no: this is a defect of Sun's VM, there's no way to tune it. Yahoo game rooms are going to look grungy. As for the discussion of anti-aliasing cluges for large fonts in code you write yourself, two solid gray areas appeared in the article, apparently where example code should have been displayed. The first gray area immediately follows sentence, "To anti-alias fonts, you have to go through a gambit like this in your Canvas paint method:" Since this page is at your website, it may display correctly for you, but I thought you might want to know, it doesn't necessarily display correctly elsewhere.

I have checked this with the latest browsers: IE, Netscape, Mozilla, Firefox and Opera. All worked fine. Do all my applets fail or just JDisplay ( the code displayer)? See http://mindprod.com/applets/amanuenses.html If it is just JDisplay, the problem is likely your firewall. It is not letting you read the serialised objects that represent the colourised code. They have the extension .ser and mime type application/x-java-serialized-object e.g. http://mindprod.com/jgloss/snippets/antialiasing.jdk12.javafrag.ser -- Canadian Mind Products, Roedy Green. http://mindprod.com Java custom programming, consulting and coaching.
