And my previous statement that it works on Vista 32-bit was incorrect.. Thanks, Dmitri Phil Race wrote: Its been a couple of weeks but yesterday finally looked into this. The problem is indeed specific to the version of the font on Vista and so affects 32 and 64 bit. When Microsoft added support for Arabic (etc) to the Times New Roman font (and others) they added an OpenType 'GPOS' table which is *supposed* to be the way to do kerning in an OpenType font. However they did not in fact add kerning information to the table. On a separate list I received email from Adobe that they also found the same problem with the Vista fonts. So really this appears to be a bug in the Vista fonts which we'll have to see if we can workaround, but really the JDK is doing just what the font tells it to do.

Re: [JAVA2D] How do I turn on kerning?
But you aren't using the same font as the previous reporter. "Serif" on Linux uses Lucida Bright, which has no 'kern' table, so that is expected. -phil.

Re: [JAVA2D] How do I turn on kerning?
I didn't get much time today. So I didn't try Vista myself, except that I dumped Times New Roman and the Vista and XP versions of the 'kern' table appear identical, even though the font itself is about double the size on Vista vs XP. So perhaps .. >no kerning on Vista x64 there's a bug in the native code that affects 64 bit ?? Was your XP case 32 or 64 bit? -phil. Phil Race wrote: Dmitri's pointers are valid. Vista shouldn't make a difference to 2D since the code isn't OS specific and isn't making any OS provided calls. Perhaps the fonts just aren't the same. I do believe that Times New Roman etc were expanded for Vista. Still, that is surprising. Don't have Vista handy right now to look how the tables are different. Its possible that it now uses more than one subtable, and when we did this work I don't think we found kern tables like that to test against. But that was pre-vista.

Re: [JAVA2D] How do I turn on kerning?
I have done a bit more testing by adding setting of ligature attributes and the results are the same: no kerning on Vista x64 but kerning working on XP. Actually, I am using JSE 6 Update 10 (b11) so perhaps it has something to do with that?

Re: [JAVA2D] How do I turn on kerning?
I didn't mean to come across as ungrateful and I tried to say that Dmitri's suggestion/fix worked but only on my XP machine. Sorry for any misunderstanding :-) Well it's pretty easy to get a test case as the example given in the tutorial doesn't apply kerning visually on my Vista machine so perhaps you can try that yourself. And this is supported by my own code where I have run the exact same app on both Vista and XP with different results. So something must be happening on the Vista front. -- And loving it, -Q _ [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Replace the "SixFour" with numbers to email me) [Message sent by forum member 'qu0ll' (qu0ll)] http://forums.java.net/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=256048 === To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff JAVA2D-INTEREST".

[JAVA2D] How do I turn on kerning?
I am trying to use kerning when displaying text using the following code: [code] Map textAttributes = new HashMap(); textAttributes.put(TextAttribute.KERNING, TextAttribute.KERNING_ON); textAttributes.put(TextAttribute.FONT, font); g2d.setFont(Font.getFont(textAttributes)); g2d.drawString(text, 100, 150); [/code] but no matter what I use for font or text the output is identical with kerning turned on or off. The font attribute is being picked up but not the kerning attribute. Why is this? What's the correct way to turn on kerning?
