Part of Websphere Studio is written in Java. It supplies its own run time (the IBM 117 for Windows). When it runs, it seems to have problems with the fonts. If I run the same application under the IBM Linux JRE (118 as it happens) it runs just fine, and it is obviously trying to use a Sans Serif font, thus I would suspect Arial is being used on the Windows system. What actually appears replaces all the actual characters including the spaces with theta characters (O overstruck with -). There is nothing obvious in the +font trace, it seems to find the standard fonts quite happily, and to great the required aliases, including Arial. Later on it seems to be trying to use Arial, or at least I take it that using UnAlias is part of the using. Anyone seen anything like this and found a solution?
