Hello everyone,
OK, here's what worked for me.
I first installed the URW fonts from the www.gimp.org website, as
instructed on the blackdown.org bug report page.
This eliminated the "zapf dingbats not found" errors.
Then, all text disappeared from all Swing components. A helpful
gentleman, (I apologize I forgot who it was now!!) suggested that I
change the protection on the fonts directory.
So, I did
$ chmod a+r /usr/local/java/jre/lib/fonts
And now everything works fine.
I didn't post this to the group earlier so as not to take up
bandwidth. It seemed that I was the only one having this problem -- I
didn't see other such questions until recently!
Regards,
Vartan
