Message: [QUOTE="Roedy Green, post: 621427"] In my latest version I too override paintComponent. Observations: my code works on XP but not Win2K (or at least on my machine) Your code works fine on my machine. I now have to track down what you did differently from me. It have discovered it is not that you also overrode your JPanel paintComponent. It is not that I used g2d.setRenderingHint( RenderingHints.KEY_RENDERING, RenderingHints.VALUE_RENDER_QUALITY ); It is not that you used a JTextField and I used a JTextArea. it is not that I setEditable( false ); It is not that I was using -target 1.3 It is not that I was using KEY_TEXT_ANTIALIASING where you were using KEY_ANTIALIASING. Finally, I discovered the problem. \u0e3f in a JTextArea inhibits antialiasing. ditto \ufdfc. \u0e3F is a Thai Baht currency sign like a capital B with a line through it. \ufdfc is the Yemini Rial currency sign. It looks like Arabic script. [/QUOTE]
