Does anyone know how the font size is set in java applets?
AFAIK you can't. Everything about Java Applets is set in the Applet code. Unless the Applet exposes a method to alter its properties such as font sizes, it can't be done. The only other thing I notice is that Konqueror has an 'additional command options' box in its Java settings. If there is a command line option to alter Swing/AWT font sizes then it may be possible to do it like that. However, a quick bit of Googling doesn't seem to suggest that such a command line option exists.
Hmmm, well *something* changed it, it's worked OK for years (literally, five or six years at least I would guess) and then a couple of weeks ago it was suddenly bigger.
It was OK when I first started using this Fedora 7 system a few weeks ago but while I was getting everything working (i.e. installing stuff, setting up ssh connections to Solaris target systems, etc. etc.) the font size got bigger. Presumably something I've installed has interacted with it but I've no idea what.
This is Firefox running on Sun displaying on my Fedora 7 desktop display, only the Sun Firefox has exactly the right JRE plugin version to run the Oracle Applet. The Sun Firefox hasn't changed for a year or two.
