    <p>I create a monospaced font in my application with :</p> <pre><code>Font f = new Font(Font.MONOSPACED, Font.PLAIN, 18); </code></pre> <p>When I run the application on a PC, the font looks fine (<code>Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, Java SE Runtime Environment - build 1.7.0_25-b15</code>).</p> <p>When I run the application on an ARM computer, the font is slanted to the right (<code>Debian Squeeze, armel, Java SE Embedded Runtime Environment - build 1.7.0_10-b18</code>).</p> <p>I tested this small program :</p> <pre><code>public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) { setTerminalFont(new Font(Font.MONOSPACED, Font.PLAIN, 18)); setTerminalFont(new Font("DejaVu Sans Mono", Font.PLAIN, 18)); } private static void setTerminalFont(Font x_font) { System.out.println("Font family=["+x_font.getFamily()+"] name=["+x_font.getFontName()+"] i-angle="+x_font.getItalicAngle()); } } </code></pre> <p>On the PC computer, it prints:</p> <pre><code>Font family=[Monospaced] name=[Monospaced.plain] i-angle=0.0 Font family=[DejaVu Sans Mono] name=[DejaVu Sans Mono] i-angle=0.0 </code></pre> <p>On the ARM computer, it prints:</p> <pre><code>Font family=[Monospaced] name=[Monospaced.plain] i-angle=0.1899996 Font family=[DejaVu Sans Mono] name=[DejaVu Sans Mono Oblique] i-angle=0.1899996 </code></pre> <p>Can someone explain why the ARM version uses <em>DejaVu Sans Mono <strong>Oblique</strong></em> ?</p> <p>How can I make java to use the plain <em>DejaVu Sans Mono</em> font instead of an oblique one ?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
