Downgrading helped part of the problem, as did installing sun-
java6-fonts. But spacing is still excessively large. I'll add
screenshots to show you.

Status in “openjdk-6” source package in Ubuntu: Incomplete

Bug description:
i am on Ubuntu 8.04.1, effect is the same on i386 and amd64, Package: openjdk-6-jre, Version: 6b11-2ubuntu2

Swing UI elements (lists, labels) have additional vertical space, some applets user interfaces are therefore broken with openjdk. In contrast sun-java6-jre works fine with tvbrowser and other applets. I attached a good and a bad png-image. The java program to render the example is ugly but still useable with openjdk but i think the error is shown clearly in comparison of the bad openjdk.png with the good sun sun-java.png.
