If you look into the Java source, then you will see that they make an =

I don't trust Symbol. What Symbol? Adobe? I have seen others say =
Dingbats is always available, which is an entirely different animal.=20
Does anyone know why buttons use Times by default? Under Windows, it =
looks really weird.

Can you tell us what the standard fonts are? ;)
There seem to be five:
Dialog
Helvetica
TimesRoman
Courier
Symbol
Can we assume that these (or some subset of these) will always be there?
(whatever they really map to)
Thanks,
Pat
