Name/value offset off the components.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Names and values on the components should be on top (or center) of the 
components and not offset over and/or under the next component. This current 
behavior makes the completed layouts much harder to read.

which components are you referring to? Resistors, caps, transistors, ICs all 
have their labels centered

All caps and resistors..

I'll attach a screenshot.

Software acts the same here on my laptop (asus eee) running fedora 14 with java 
version "1.6.0_20" as on my desktop machine running LMDE and latest java.

that's weird, I've never seen it before. Probably has to do with font 
measurements under linux. I'll investigate...

First i thought it was a feature or that i had something configured really 
wrong.

Now that i replaced my 3.12 with 3.15 on the LMDE installation, it works 
correctly. But there is one difference; Here on Fedora 14, the font defaults to 
"Abyssinica SIL" which could be the problem. But font cannot be changed on 
components, so i can't really test if that's it. Abyssinica SIL is installed by 
default on Fedora.

Still it puzzles me why the font offsets only on caps and resistors..

Anyway. It is a problem that manifests itself on unsupported version of Fedora.

Nope. It isn't just Fedora 14. Since the original report, i've run Fedora 18 
beta on this machine and now i'm running CentOS 6.3. Both had/have Oracle java 
from official Oracle packages.

I've attached another screenshot, and the issue is still present.

But i think i know how this happens. This machine is old Asus EEE laptop, with 
puny 1024x600 resolution screen. I believe that DIYLC assumes a larger 
resolution, and that results in value/name offset.

If i save the project and copy it to my desktop machine over ssh and open it, 
the texts are in their rightful places.

I'm not familiar with java, but is there a way to add window size to run.sh 
script? If smaller size could be determined there, i think the problem would go 
away.
