This font issue on OS X seems to be a thorn to a number of leading Java applications. This morning I fired up IDEA, up my favorite Java IDE and there was not one bit of readable text in the GUI. The 1.4.1 Java update form Apple had messed with the default system font, so the solution was to select another font, counting button shapes through a set of dialogs to do it!
For the heck of it I just downloaded the CodeGuide 6.1demo and what do you know, it complains about a "Bad Font" that must be removed before CodeGuide can be installed.
It would seem that detailed knowledge of the OS X font system for Java developers has become imperative.
Regards,
Thomas

Batik for OS X,
Found the following document at O'Reilly about fonts on OS X. This is part II, part I is available with the link and shows where all the fonts on OS X are located.
