I like this idea when JAI is used. > Dous that mean that java can not find fonts on your system? I > thought java was looking in default locations to find fonts. That is true. Every Java Platform has to support 5 logical fonts (which map to physical fonts). The real issue is that java required native graphic libraries to render graphics (draw lines and stuff). Early versions of jdk 1.4 stiil required the X11 libraries (Not a running X11 server). I don't know the status of the recent jdk's. There is also a Pure Java AWT on the web which performs less then the native ones, but it can render graphics in 100% java code. Nico
