------------------------------------
Summary: Change default theme font to one of the Java "logical"
fonts
Key: PIVOT-958
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-958
Project: Pivot
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: wtk-terra
Affects Versions: 2.0.4
Environment: WIndows XP, Windows 7, OSX Mavericks, Linux RedHat
Reporter: Roger Whitcomb
Assignee: Roger Whitcomb
Fix For: 2.1, 2.0.5
The current default Terra Theme font is "Verdana 11". While this is a
nice-looking font, it is not available (by default) on platforms other than
Windows, and it does not support a wide range of the Unicode character set
(typically not much outside the Latin-1 range). This is a problem for
applications needing to routinely handle Japanese, Korean, Chinese, etc.
characters in the GUI.
The proposal would be to change the default theme font to either "DIALOG 12" or
maybe "SANS_SERIF 12" in order to take advantage of the increased character set
coverage in these "logical" fonts.
Since this is a big visual change, it is not clear if it should go into 2.0.5
or not.
