I had the same problem, so I edited my fonts.properties and exchanged the fonts with 
existing fonts of my X server (I double checked with xfontsel and whether I could run 
an xterm with the fonts I selected) . But unfortunately this did not help. Maybe I did 
something wrong, but I cannot think of what ...

I don't have much pressure to circumvent this problem though, because my applications 
do not crash ... they just do not look nice.

There is another problem I discovered when playing around with JDK1.2: obviously there 
is a bad interaction between Swing and ssh. When I run programs that use Swing on 
Solaris remotely from a Solaris box everything works fine (over ssh). When I run the 
very same application on the very same remote Solaris box and set the display to my 
Linux box I see an empty window (the same for HP-UX). If I do the same thing but do 
not run the application via ssh everything works (besides the font problem).

I could not figure out whether this is a ssh or JDK1.2 problem, but it's nasty (we use 
ssh for ALL our remote connections).
