The JDK API documentation pages will be using DejaVu font. A sample build, using the DejaVu fonts, can be found at http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~bpatel/docs/dejaVu/api/. Non-JDK API documentation pages that are generated by the user of the javadoc tool will be using non-DejaVu fonts as specified in the stylesheet.css file. A sample build can be found at http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~bpatel/docs/api/.

Both docs are quite nice :)

Just nitpicking a little:
   In the header, the summary always shows all the selector NESTED, 
FIELD, CONSTR etc
   but the method summary only show the tab if needed.
   I think that the header summary should only show the selector if 
nested classes or fields etc exist.

   The way the compact profiles are displayed is too close to the way 
the package is displayed,

   If the method doc uses a lighter gray, the text of the parameters, 
returns and throws should use light gray too.

cheers,
