Hi everybody,

Version 3 of the modified fixedsys true type font still had some
problems and there were some characters missing.
So Here is an update:
  http://www.jave.de/download/fixedsysttf4.zip
It only looks good in size 11, and the lines are slightly taller than
with the original fixedsys font.

You can check this font now and it can be used with Jave in the next
version that will be released within only a few weeks or so.
