'make test' fails on Fedora when doing -font test

First off, let me thank you Rob for fixing problems found with this module so quickly. It's nice to see someone so active maintaining their module. I did have a problem installing version 1.06 from CPAN though. I am using Fedora Core 2. It seems that the TestFont sub in t/02_Options_Basic.t is failing during 'make test'. I found that the problem was it attempts to set -family to 'Times', yet that font is not on my system. It looks like this is the same reason there is a FAIL report for Linux in the CPAN Testers section of this module version. Just to test this, I edited the TestFont sub and changed "Times" to "Helveta". After that, 'make test' ran without error. - Ken

Thanks - I'd known there was a problem with the Font Test, but wasn't exacty sure what it was. THe test does not fail on my Fedora 2 Linux box, you see, so I was a little puzzled. I've made a change that uses one font for Windows (Arial), and one for Anything else (Helvetica). Hopefully, this will pass the various tests. Well, I'm happy at least that the problem is a bad test rather than a problem in the JComboBox code. I'll be releasing another version in a few days, I have a bug that I'm going to fixing, plus two new pieces of functionality requested on c.l.p.tk. I figure that I'll put them in the same release.
