[Biojava-l] Request for font change in SequencePanel.java

[Dr S.M. Huen]

The current SequencePanel has the "Times New Roman" font hardwired into it
and it has an unfortunate side effect on when running jdb with Sun's JDK
1.3.0. and 1.3.1-RC2 in Redhat 7.1.

While running a biojava app directly is fine, for whatever reason, running
it under debugger leads to:-
Exception occurred: sun.io.UnknownCharacterException (uncaught)
thread="main", sun.awt.motif.CharToByteX11Dingbats.convert(), line=70,
bci=72

Setting it is "serif" circumvents this.  May I suggest making this
change? It removes a dependence on a font that may not be present on all
platforms (not legally at least!)?  And it will allow jdb to debug a
SequencePanel-using app.

Thanks,
