JDK1.2 uses scalable fonts (only!) as part of the Graphics2D changes. It
ships some TrueType fonts of its own, which it sets as the default
fonts... unfortunately, those fonts have outrageous ascent and descent
values, resulting in huge spacing between lines of text. However, the
JDK can also used scalable fonts that were installed for the X server;
if you peruse the archives for this list, you'll find some instructions
for using different fonts.
As for the missing fonts, that's also addressed in some past mail.
Basically, you can install a Zapf Dingbat font or, if you don't care
about those characters, you can ignore the messages.
