severity 492569 normal
thanks

  Hello,

  I've also noticed a significant difference in the look of the fonts
for freecol, and also jsymphonic (in the process of being packaged). See
attached files for examples with openjdk and sun (freecol does not
currently work with other free JVM).

  I took the liberty to raise again to normal, since no one likes to get
ugly fonts, and the first reaction of people will be: "see: this is
free, but it looks crappy"...

  For the record, sun-java6-fonts is installed - that might explain the
better look of the Sun vs openjdk ?

  Regards,

	Vincent
