Hi, can you say what operating system / version etc. you are using which has
this issue?
Reading more carefully :-) - I see you're using OpenJDK on Ubuntu... I don't
have that configuration... Are you able to download and use another Java, such
as one of the Linux Java's from Oracle? See

Hi,
I am facing this problem more and more often and now it is too much. Each
time I install a new software tool with a GUI, I am stuck with tiny font
sizes and no workaround. This is now happening to me with the Document
Analysis tool of UIMA. I searched a long long time about the topic of
increasing font size of Swing applications, and the requirement is to pull
the app apart and change the source code at many places, customizing how each
and every control is instantiated! This is just total madness.
The problem is that the UIMA tutorial relies on this GUI tool, not proposing
any fallback such as a text-mode alternative or API calls that would allow to
process documents and format the annotated JCASes. I am thus blocked until I
google around and copy/paste hundreds of lines of codes to get a working
basic text-mode document analysis tool.
My system font is correct and a bunch of applications such as the terminal
emulator, Eclipse, Emacs, Google Chrome, Thunderbird, etc., have correct font
sizes. But Java Swing applications just ignore system settings.
I tried simple solutions such as switching the default Swing look and feel
from the cross-platform to GTK: no result. It seems the GTK LAF is
non-working in OpenJDK, the only JVM available in Ubuntu repositories since
Oracle bought Sun. I tried to find a way to tune the look and feel: no
solution, except AGAIN changing the source code of the application.
Is there any way around this? Any plan for a text-based document analysis
tool or something using an Eclipse plug-in?
