Message: [QUOTE="Martin Gregorie, post: 4160972"] physicalfont.html> Thats good to know except that you have to be familiar with the fonts to know which, if any, correspond to the logical fonts, e.g. Monospace, so as a piece of documentation its useless because it fails to provide that mapping information. The other thing that's missing is any documentation of the way that JTextField and JTextArea convert the 'columns' argument into a pixel width. IME any constructor that uses this argument to set the field width invariably creates a field that is around twice the width needed to display the specified number of glyphs. It doesn't take a genius to say what default typeface, weight and size is used to calculate the field size and to explain how this will vary if other typefaces, weights and sizes are used for the field content, so WTF isn't this information, or at least a link to it, part of the class documentation?
