Glad it's working. My initial questions were going to be centered on whether or not the fonts were specific to the app and whether the app needed to make the system fonts available as well as the custom fonts. It sounds like you've moved away from having the app set "java.awt.fonts", which I think is a good choice. One thing that immediately comes to mind for apps that are handling image output is to stay away from ImageIO for now, especially for JPEG images. I know, sounds kooky, but there are some bugs that really make it suspect for long-lived processes. Some of the problems are actually caused by the way Java handles temporary files, but the use of ImageIO can exacerbate the symptoms. If you are using it, make sure to issue:
ImageIO.setUseCache(false) so that disk-based caching is not used. By default, this is set to true. Here are some bugs to ponder: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4513817 http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4827358 Quoting Michael McGrady <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hello, Kris, > > Thanks or responding.
