Hi Stuart,
Well, the problem you have pointed out is not a bug but undocumented
behavior.
It used to work as expected in 6.0.4.
In 6.1, this behavior was changed because if there were many fonts available
on the client (say 1000s), then all of them would be sent to the server at
the time of start up which would slow down the start up.
Therefore, it was decided not to send this info from the client to the
server. However, it was not documented due to oversight.
The solution is to use the following API in your launcher:
ClientEnvironmentAdapter.getClientInfo().setAvailableFontFamilyNames(
new String[] {"A", "B"});
Basically choose all or subset of fonts available on the client, put them in
a String array and set it on the ClientInfo object. This object has the
client specific attributes and it is sent to the server at start up time.
I hope this helps.
Thanks and regards,
Janak
