Thanks, Sean, and good to hear from you. :-) Indeed, I installed the Liberation font package and have my OpenJDK configured to use it. Surely, though, this, audio codecs (I have audio turned off, though I know we've seen reports of people having difficulty with sounds enabled), and printer drivers wouldn't cause the stretched confirmation dialogs I'm seeing. For me, this could be related to the port, if not OpenJDK itself. I'd have to test against a Linux box running it to be certain. Brian's post sounded more persistent, though, which is what piqued my curiosity. Thanks!

It seems that Oracle goes through a separate level of QA for their own JDK that probably never gets done on the OpenJDK, or at least depends on patches trickling back to the OpenJDK codebase. > > Thanks, > Sean > > On 3 Dec 2011, at 18:28, Brian Derr wrote: > >> I've been running Moneydance on Ubuntu for many years now and one issue >> that always comes up is which JDK I have installed.
