Hi, I want to test REAPR (Recognising Errors in Assemblies using Paired Reads - http://www.sanger.ac.uk/resources/software/reapr/). To visualize the plots I downloaded the Artemis Genome Browser (http://www.sanger.ac.uk/resources/software/artemis/).

Currently I am running into the following problem. If I try to open Artemis the whole GUI uses a weird unreadable handwriting font:

I already tried to add the following line into .bashrc:

export _JAVA_OPTIONS='-Dswing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel'

This resulted in a correct look of the menu but the sequence attributes etc. are still not displayed correctly:

Maybe someone ran into the same problem? Any help appreciated!

Looks the similar to this, do you have Microsoft core fonts installed?

Indeed looks pretty similar. After reading a bit more it seems to be a OpenJDK problem. I am running Artemis on CentOS release 5.6 (Final) with java version "1.6.0_20" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.9.8) (rhel-1.22.1.9.8.el5_6-x86_64) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 19.0-b09, mixed mode).

Maybe that helps?

And no, I don't have MS fonts installed. Do you know how to do so?

Installation of Oracle JDK 7 (http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/7u25-b15/jdk-7u25-linux-x64.rpm) following this installation guide http://eureka.ykyuen.info/2010/01/29/centos-install-java-sun-jdk/ solved the problem. Maybe it can help in case someone else runs into a similar problem. For example using FASTQC we ran into the same problem.
