[Ingrid <tech@xxxxxxxxxx>]

On further examination, it looks like my problem does occur on other
Ubuntu distributions.

Given that it is not tied to any specific distribution or version of
java, my problem is possibly due to CGoban3 itself. Perhaps it is
deciding to pack as many lines in as possible, and not properly
estimating the width of columns that have 'Robot' in the player name.

Apologies if this isn't relevant to the original bug.

Bug description:
- default font appearance settings at 96 dpi
- have ttf-dejavu* packages and java's internal lucida faces available to fc
- javaws http://files.gokgs.com/javaBin/cgoban.jnlp
- play on KGS
- enter unused nick
- login by hitting guest
- look at ugly (too high, ragged) bold fonts game offerings are displayed in (some internal bold lucida)
- look at e.g. overlapping letter 'g' in nicks displayed in nicklist (some dejavu variant)

- one can move affected ttfs out of fontconfig's path to see mentioned faces changing (after app restart)
- FC_DEBUG=1 javaws ... | grep family | sort | uniq should show them selected, too
- orderly shaped fonts were displayed with karmic's sun-java6
- the bad fonts can be seen in openjdk-jre (karmic or lucid), too

- maybe some forced dpi change in karmic->lucid transition?
- maybe some problem in java rasterization requests? (but both implementations fail in lucid, openjdk in karmic)
- maybe some bad font metrics?
- maybe errors in rasterization?
