I just applied the latest Mac OS X Java update (appeared in Software
Update today), hoping that it might fix the annoying MATLAB/Spaces bug
(Command+Tab won't switch to MATLAB), but instead it seems to have
changed how text renders (in the editor, command, and workspace
windows).  Everything is way larger now (I'm using a 10 point font,
but I can only fit about 60 lines of text on a 1600 x 1200 monitor...
before the update around 90 fit just fine), and letters look slightly
more spaced out horizontally.  It's not unusable, it just looks...
wrong.  Anyone else have a similar problem/know how to change it?
