Windows Look And Feel in Linux

843810Jan 18 2006 — edited Nov 10 2006

Hello,
Can anyone tell me how to get the WindowsLookAndFeel working in Linux. here is my code:

UIManager.setLookAndFeel("com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel");

Font font = new Font("SansSerif", Font.PLAIN, 11);
UIManager.put("JLabel.font", font);
UIManager.put("JButton.font", font);
UIManager.put("JMenu.font", font);
UIManager.put("JToggleButton.font", font );
UIManager.put("JPanel.font", font);
UIManager.put("Button.font", font);

This code is working fine in Windows. But when I test it in Linux, the font is BOLD in place of PLAIN. And Also when I change the font size to 8 for example, the font does not change in Linux (11 and BOLD).

When I change the look and feel to com.sun.java.swing.plaf.motif.MotifLookAndFeel everything works fine.

Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks in advance
