public class J2Label
extends javax.swing.JLabel

A subclass of JLabel with a default Font of Serif,PLAIN,10, default foreground Color black, and default background Color white and opague, useful for making HTML JLabels that work consistently across all JDKs 1.2.x and later.

This subclass is useful for defining JLabel instances when using HTML so that you can overcome a series of problems that make it difficult to use JLabel consistently across different JDK versions. These problems include:
 Under JDK 1.3 and 1.3.1 the default foreground color is blue, under JDK 1.2 and also 1.4 and later it is black
 Under JDK 1.4 and later the default Font is BOLD, previously it was PLAIN (and since HTML lacks a "plain" command, this locks you into BOLD)
 Under JDK 1.4 and later, calling setFont controls the initial HTML font, previously it was ignored
 Under JDK 1.4 and later, the  tag results in text the same size as in browsers, previously it was one size too big

J2Label addresses these problems by always making the foreground Color black, and making the default font PLAIN, and under JDK 1.3 and 1.3.1 modifying the HTML to set the initial font. The default font is set to Serif,PLAIN,10, which is the same as the J2Printer default String font for headers and footers.

In addition, because of the  problem, we recommend you specify all HTML fonts in relative size, e.g.
  is approximately 36 point is approximately 24 point is approximately 18 point is approximately 14 point is approximately 12 point is approximately 10 point is approximately 8 point
Using relative sizes for all HTML JLabel (and JTextPane) instances will help you make your output look the same under all JDKs. You may also find it useful to use the HTML tags <big> and .
