Sandro Martini commented on PIVOT-958:
--------------------------------------
+1 from me, for the change in trunk, and even in 2.0.x (unless someone has
strong objections)
I'll post here updated screenshots of our Demo applications for 2.1.0 with
updated theme and this new default font.
> 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.
