This message is for Uncle George:
There seems to be a difference between the way fonts are handled under
JDK1.2 vs. JDK 1.1.7, which I can't seem to resolve. Programs which
run fine under v1.1.7 now complain about missing fonts under v1.2,
which appears to be fatal.
Initially, I received this message:
------------------------
Font specified in font.properties not found [-b&h-lucida sans
typewriter-bold-r-normal-sans-*-%d-*-*-m-*-iso8859-1]
No fonts were found in
'/lib/X11/fonts/Type1:/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType:/opt/jdk12_v3/jre/lib/fonts'.
------------------------
I quickly discovered that the X11 fonts on my machine are stored in
'/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts' (note the preceding /usr/X11R6 path), and
setup a symbolic link so they could be found. However, I must not
have enough fonts, or something, because I then got this message:

------------------------
Some other details:
- I've got lesstif v0.86-5 installed in a non-default directory
- I'm running RedHat v5.0 (with the 2.0.35 kernel)
- I'm using Hummingbird Exceed under NT 4.0 as my X server
Some questions:
- Where does the font path come from? (I can't find any reference to
it in Sun's JDK documentation.)
- Why am I having problems with fonts under v1.2, but not under
v1.1.7?
Thanks in advance,
