Hey, I found a solution to this buried on the Netscape site. Do the following
(oh this is for Redhat installs only)
type in: chkfontpath --list
you should get output like the following:
Current directories in font path:
1: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled
2: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled
3: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled
4: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc
5: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1
6: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo
You should then add the 75dpi scaled font to your path list using the command:
chkfontpath --add /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi
This should fix both the font display problems and the problems with Java
crashing.
This is article 990807-8 from Netscapes site.
It worked for me. Goodluck.
