Comment 5 mslama 2005-06-07 11:52:03 UTC 
The similar behavior happens also on Linux with current dev build. It looks like
it is caused by different default font or font size for html renderer in
JEditorPane (JavaHelp content viewer).
Comment 6 mslama 2005-06-28 14:15:11 UTC 
Default font size was changed in JDK 6.0:

4992615 [JEditorPane html font sizes incorrect]. This bug is fixed in mustang.
Part of the fix was to improve rendering to look like in major browsers.
(if you open credits.html in IE or mozilla it would look similar to 1.6)
Font sizes table was updated:

         1.6    1.5

xx-small 10      8
x-small  12     10
small    14     12
medium   18     14
large    24     18
x-large  36     24
xx-large 48     36

If we would like to keep our JavaHelp the same we would have to stop aliases for
font size but use absolute sizes instead. Passing to doc to decide.

I filed BugTraq 6297519 to fix the issue, and it looks like they might rollback
the changes in 4992615.
Comment 8 Patrick Keegan 2005-10-11 21:40:10 UTC 
This has been fixed in JDK 6, so will not need to do anything in NetBeans.
