SYMPTOMS
The font size is too small in applets
CAUSE
Incompatibility between Java and certain video cards
SOLUTION
To solve this problem, the user needs to turn off the anti-aliasing feature in the video card driver.
Contact the manufacturer of the video card and find out how to launch the video card driver in your system.
Locate the anti-aliasing feature in the video card driver, and disable it. The steps can vary depending on your computer's video card.
Start > Control Panel > Double click the Display icon > Display Properties dialog box opens > Click the Settings tab > Click the Advanced button
The Plug and Play Monitor dialog box opens. Under one of the tabs, you can adjust the anti-aliasing property. Restart the computer before running the applet again.
Note: if your video card does NOT support anti-aliasing, then you will not be able to find this option in the video card settings.
