Re: Bug ID 4132856: JTextField with afractionally-scaledfontdoesn'twork correctly in 1.5.0_02.

If you happen to hit a character that's exactly the average width, it might look ok. Characters that are significantly different from the average (".", "i", "W", "M") get obviously out of sync much more quickly.

Did you notice a difference with monospaced fonts, Adrian?

My sample uses Courier; I haven't seen any difference in behaviour
with different fonts.


I did see a difference on Solaris 9, but that's possibly because we
haven't tried too many weird point sizes. There is no reason that a
monospaced font couldn't have a fractional width for *every* character.
This in fact matches what I'm seeing on OS X. With courier, it doesn't
seem to matter which character I type, the caret positioning gets out of
sync. However, if I change to Times New Roman, 'f' and 'd' do not cause
a problem whereas 'a' does (I'm typing in the second field down btw).

Adrian Sutton.
