First you should check your Xserver' s font path, on my system it starts
with:
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/freefont"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/sharefont"
....
You can change the default fonts by editing $JAVA_HOME/lib/font.properties.
The default colors can be changed by setting X resources (good window
managers should do that for you).
E.g:
*Text.activeBackground: #ffffff
*Text.activeForeground: #000000
*Text.background: #ffffff
*Text.foreground: #000000
*Text.highlightBackground: #ffffff
*Text.highlightColor: #000000
(These properties have effect on all applications, if you want to
restrict their effect on java applications you can use AWTapp.)
