getting quartz fonts & Java 6 sound effects

[Alexander Zuev]

Jeff,

   unfortunately we don't support quartz for the on-screen rendering in 
Java 7 so UseQuartz=true does not
do any difference. As for the sound - using the JavaSoundDemo from the 
Apple Developer Extras i
definitely noticed a difference in the sound of the Synth Strings 2 
instrument - Apple version has much
more complexity. I will raise that concern with our media expert.

With best regards,
Alexander Zuev
