Sandro Martini commented on PIVOT-958: -------------------------------------- To avoid disruptive (UI) changes, no porting in 2.0.x but only in trunk (2.1.0). > 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 > > Attachments: pivot_colorschemebuilder_dark_flat_screencapt.png, > pivot_colorschemebuilder_dark_screencapt.png, > pivot_colorschemebuilder_default_flat_screenshot.png, > pivot_colorschemebuilder_default_screencapt.png > > > 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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
