What program for font preview
ivan:
Hi Dave,
I use a program object with the following in the 'Program' page:
C:\OPENJDK6-GA3\BIN\JAVAW.EXE
-Duser.home=f:\java-apps\fontviewer -jar fontviewer.jar
F:\JAVA-APPS\FONTVIEWER
And Font Display on the 'Icon' page.
Obviously you need to change paths as necessary.

Hi Dave
The download works as long as Preferences -> Downloads -> when saving a file is set to "Save files to" but not when set to "Always ask where...".
As I can download files from other websites with the option "Always ask where..." set - no problems downloading Fontfolder using the url supplied in your above post - I can only guess there is something different with downloading files from os2world that Seamonkey does not like.
Later:
I think I may have found the problem. If I use Shift-Click Seamonkey bypasses the Download dialog and opens the Save to dialog which shows the filename as index.php
Having downloaded index.php I can confirm it is actually FontViewer.jar
Does this indicate the problem is with the download link and related website code?
Regards
Pete

I just downloaded the jar and icon files and it went flawlessly in Firefox. This would suggest the website code is ok, well, at least with Firefox.
Both gave me the dialog box on first click that asks me where to save each file. And both files where then saved fine.
I do have 'Ask me' ticked on the download options.

Hi Pete, you've probably got some profile corruption somewhere. You could test with a new profile.
Hi Ivan, pretty much how I was trying to run it. Double checked I have the latest Java, re-installed Odin and tested with a different Odin and even wiped the registry. Same error.
Not too important as other java programs run.

Hi Dave, This appears to be one of the java programs that requires openjdk6-ga3 to run.
I have a few java programs that will not run with openjdk6-ga5. I don't think there are supposed to be that many differences between ga3 and ga5 but there are enough not to let some java programs work that is why I have both versions on this computer.
