Hello all,

Thought I would post this here as well, seeing as it is probably more
of a GUI question than generalised Java.

Kind regards,
Taylor

Hello all,

With the newer versions of Java your Swing apps can look extra pretty
thanks to font smoothing. When using Ubuntu (as I am) the builtin
desktop environment configurations set this up for you - when running
GNOME, KDE, or XFCE it looks great. But I choose to run my .xsession
file instead, which loads FVWM. And somewhere along the line something
isn't set right and I don't get pretty smoothed fonts in my Swing apps.
I checked environment variables and I can't see it there, so I'm
thinking it may be an X resource? I don't know; if anybody has any
ideas on which knob I can twiddle to get the pretty fonts back, I'd
greatly appreciate it!

Best regards.
