I already have both of those.

I have those two packages installed too.  Which of course doesn't 
guarantee that OpenJDK can find everything properly, but at least those 
packages appear to be installed.
Thanks for looking that up.

Thanks a lot, that confirms what I'm seeing.  So it must just be a 
personal preference thing, personally I just don't like how it looks.  
Using sun java things looked much more like native programs, but now 
they look quite different and not as nice.  I tried switching to a GTK 
look-and-feel and that gave me better-looking fonts, but also gave me 
other problems instead.

Anyway, if it's just a taste thing and noone seems to mind that much 
then I guess it's not a problem for OSGeo Live.  I am hearing complaints 
from Ubuntu users though, for what it's worth, referring to java 
programs in general.
