I recently found out that a badge printing program I wrote that has been working fine for years on windows doesn't print correctly on MAC OS X. I am using Arial truetype font. The program seems to display a basic font, without proper scaling. I am using intellij and jdk1.7.0_15. The font appears correctly on the screen, but not when I print to a printer or pdf. When I list the fonts that are available to the program on the console using GraphicsEnvironment.getAvailableFontFamilyNames, Arial is listed as one of them. When I load the font from a font file directly, it works correctly. I've been chasing my tail on this for over a day, any suggestions would be appreciated. Here is the code that demonstrates my problem...

f.setVisible(true);
