Hey everyone.

Couple of questions:

First, I have a JTextField.. when you backspace to the beginning and
keep backspacing it sounds the system bell. How do you disable this?
I'm guessing its something really stupid, but heck if I can find it in
the processKeyEvent or the listeners.

Second, I need to be able to display fixed width font in the 10-16 font
size range using a JTextPane. Does anyone have any advice for how to
make the text look nicer than it does?

>From what I've read there no way to get the FixedSys font (the one that

everyone wants)? Does anyone have any recommendations for an
alternative?

Thanks!

Thanks, that link helped a good deal. If I'm understanding the page
correctly, then no its not possible to use the FixedSys font. Are they
any plans to support those fonts at all?

Noticed something odd last night..

I have a textfield in which I've overridden processKeyEvent. I tried
intercepting the backspace key there to disable the beep. When I
compiled and ran my app, it didn't catch the backspace keys.

I left the code in place and then set a copy up for deployment using
Java Web Start. When I ran the app, the backspace key was caught and
consumed properly.

Any idea why this would happen?

Thanks,

-Ken
