MacOS issue with emulator rendering (update)

["James H H Lampert" <jamesl@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Some of the leads I got when I first brought up this 
subject pointed me in the direction of a problem with the 
Mac 1.4 JVM rendering fonts that had been 
AffineTransform-ed. I can now confirm that with a simple 
"one-class wonder." The source code below effectively 
duplicates the rendering problem of the emulator:

package Test30MR05;

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.geom.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class Test30MR05 extends JPanel {
    protected Image 		        bufferImage;
    protected Graphics 		bgr;             // back 
graphics
    protected Font font;
    protected Font tallFont;


  public Test30MR05() {
    Dimension size = new Dimension(500,500);
    setPreferredSize(size);
    setMinimumSize(size);
    setMaximumSize(size);
    setBackground(Color.blue);
    font = new Font("Serif", Font.PLAIN, 16);
    tallFont = 
font.deriveFont(AffineTransform.getScaleInstance(1.0, 
1.6));
    }
  public void setup(){
    bufferImage = createImage(500,500);
    bgr = bufferImage.getGraphics();
    bgr.setColor(Color.red);
    bgr.fillRect(0,0,500,500);
    bgr.setColor(Color.white);
    bgr.drawLine(250,0,250,500);
    bgr.drawLine(0,250,500,250);
    bgr.setFont(font);
    bgr.drawString("I like spam. This is 
normal.",251,249);
    bgr.drawLine(0,300,500,300);
    bgr.setFont(tallFont);
    bgr.drawString("I like spam. This is taller.", 251, 
299);
  }

  public void paint(Graphics g) {
    if (bufferImage != null)
      g.drawImage(bufferImage, 0, 0, null);
  }
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Test30MR05 foo = new Test30MR05();
    JFrame frame = new JFrame();
    frame.getContentPane().add(foo);
    frame.pack();
    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    foo.setup();
    frame.setVisible(true);
  }
}

Later today, I hope to have a ZIP file with the above, in 
source, class, and jar, with WinDoze and MacOS-X screen 
shots, on my web site. Anybody here know about the Affine 
bug, or any workarounds for it?
