> 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.
