Hi John
The fix at
Kazuki's post
http://www.mail-archive.com/java-linux@java.blackdown.org/msg05371.html
worked for me. Just follow it step by step and you should be OK.
A couple of things, though. A few lines containing 'zapf' in the attached
fonts.properties files are wrapped (I finally got it !) and need to be
unwrapped. Here are those wrapped lines
sansserif.bolditalic.1=-urw-zapf
dingbats-medium-r-normal--*-%d-*-*-p-*-adobe-fontspecific
monospaced.bolditalic.1=-urw-zapf
dingbats-medium-r-normal--*-%d-*-*-p-*-adobe-fontspecific
dialoginput.italic.1=-urw-zapf
dingbats-medium-r-normal--*-%d-*-*-p-*-adobe-fontspecific
dialoginput.bolditalic.1=-urw-zapf
dingbats-medium-r-normal--*-%d-*-*-p-*-adobe-fontspecific
I also installed the ghostscript-fonts-std from the .rpm package. Infact, I
installed it sometime back along with ghostscript-fonts-other package but
looking at Kazuki's post, these fonts should be there in the std. package.
Since the rpm installs these fonts in /usr/share/ghostscript/fonts (RH5.1, I
think the path is correct otherwise try 'rpm -ql ghostscript-fonts' and it
should list all the files in the package), copy the attached fonts.dir file
in /usr/share/ghostscript/fonts and set
JAVA_FONTS=/usr/share/ghostscript/fonts:$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/fonts.
This should get your fonts fixed. Let me know if you need more help.
