problem displaying Java GUI
Hello, I've looked in the archives for this list and found two or three similar issues but no resolution. I am running Cygwin on Windows 2000 and connecting to a Solaris box. I can connect via ssh and run applications like xterm, xclock, and xcalc successfully. Running my own Java code, compiled on the Solaris machine, fails to display on my Windows machine. I get the following message: Warning: Cannot convert string -monotype-arial-regular-r-normal--*-140-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1 to type FontStruct then nothing. This behavior occurs with both the -X and -Y ssh switches. Has anyone solved this problem?

RE: problem displaying Java GUI
I've looked in the archives for this list and found two or three similar issues but no resolution. I am running Cygwin on Windows 2000 and connecting to a Solaris box.

This behavior occurs with both the -X and -Y ssh switches. Has anyone solved this problem? With fantastic timing, I've managed to eliminate the problem (although I haven't found a true solution). Removing the line: JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true); from my code allowed the GUI to run and be displayed on Windows. This suggests that the problem lies with the Solaris JDK rather than Cygwin.
