Status in “openjdk-6” package in Ubuntu: New

Bug description:
java application (client to scrabble online game from www.scrabbleonline.sk site) looks differently in windows and in ubuntu. in ubuntu its unplayable because of that (... in some content, lettersare higher so Ŕ and R look the same etc.). 

before i took it as fact, but in 10.10 i played with font configuration and set fonts exactly as it is in windows. result is that this time game is playable, but still looks different. even if font is the same (taken from sun java package or copied from windows java installation)

i understand that font rendering is different library in windows and in linux, but i don't believe its ok that fonts are rendered with different width and height....
