Description
FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
Build 12 of 6u10

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Windows Vista

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
With 6656651 providing native text rasterization, the Windows LAF should use Segoe UI on all controls and not only on menus. This will make Java applications look much more consistent with the native apps.

The Windows LAF should honor the desktop font setting. Ideally it would use the IconTitleFont. That honors the desktop font setting normal/large/extra large. It maps to Tahoma on a default XP and to Segoe UI on a default Vista setup. 

The current Sun Windows LAF ignores the desktop font setting and the desktop setting for the font size.
