Dear All,

There is a problem with Windows/WindowsClassic LAF
for the new release 1.8.0_212 of the JDK with small
fonts etc..

I found the following workaround, just use a different
JDK. Affected by the bug:
- Oracle
- GraalVM

Not affected by the bug:
- OpenJDK
   java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.212-1.b04.ojdkbuild.windows.x86_64.zip
   https://github.com/ojdkbuild/ojdkbuild
- JDK 13
   Windows / x64	zip
   https://jdk.java.net/13/

I also observed that the larger fonts get registered
when I use a JFileChooser later on in the application,
but it should be already register before

while calling setLookAndFeel. Any programmatic work-
around known for the broken setLookAndFeel? What does
JFileChooser perform, that make it work?

Best Regards

So people that paid Oracle for support has a problem and people
that download for free are OK?

Now I have found another solution for JDK 1.8,
I guess their java.exe had a different setting
than usual, but this can be fixed:

java.exe settings DPI system managed:

BTW: Now I have also to find a better solution 
for JDK 13. JDK 13 dpiaware rescaling doesn't work
on my side, the GridLayout sometimes gets scrambled,

if the GridLayout contains a table. Working on it...
