RTF Printing in J2SE 5

Question

Hi,
We are experiencing problems with printing RTF documents in J2SE 5. Our applications prints as expected on J2SE 1.4 but running the same application on J2SE results in output that is looking akward since character spacing is wrong.
I have created a small sample application to show the problem. Compile it for J2SE 1.4 and run it using both version 1.4 and 5 and compare the output.
Does anyone know about any changes in J2SE 5 that should cause this behaviour - or perhaps someone could spot the problem? Any help would be appreciated.
