The fonts are really small but that can be fixed pretty easily.  It's 
the frame and dialogs that are really small that can't easily be 
corrected.  Using the windows system laf helps some but you still have 
to adjust the font sizes.  I actually surprised there isn't some way to 
do it automatically with the Nimbus laf but there apparently isn't.
