A while back I complained about scandinavic letters with glibc JDK 1.1.6. Moving to the libc5 JDK 1.1.6-v2 test fixed the problem and everything was nice. Now I noticed there's a glibc version of JDK 1.1.6-v2 out there and installed that; original problem returns. And I have been using the Helvetica and Times Roman fonts all the time, which were supposed to be the ones that work in all versions of the JDK port (?).
