Did you ever get this problem solved? The JDK still cannot find my "zapf dingbats"
fonteither. I have tried the
following:
1. Downloaded the URW fonts and put them in the directory: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts
2. Updated my etc/X11/fs/config file as shown below. The only new line is the one
which specifies the URW font.
I restarted X and even rebooted.
Is there anything else that I need to do in order to make the fonts "take"?
Then I though it might be a problem with the names in the "font.properties" file. So
I changed them from:
--zapf dingbats...
to
-Adobe-Zapf Dingbats...
This is the name in "fonts.dir".
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have read the RedHat documentation.

Modified "config" file.
