Hi. I've recently installed the Blackdown 1.2 pre-v2 JDK and
everything works fine except, when running a java program, a heap
of "can't find font" messages popped up such as this:
"Font specified in font.properties not found
[--zapf
dingbats-medium-r-normal--*-%d-*-*-p-*-adobe-fontspecific]"
I commented out all 'dingbat' references in the font.properties
file and that seems to have fixed the problem, but I just wanted
to ask if there was a better solution (just 'chopping out' the
fontname-dash-2 series of definitions in font.properties seemed to
be a bit crude).
I'm running fvwm2 with Linux 2.2.12 and XFree86 (I don't have the
version of XFree with me right now, but it's one of the most
recent - came with my Slakware 4.0 distribution of the 2.2.7 kernel).
Do other linux distributions have these 'dingbat' fonts? Should
I acquire them (somehow), or otherwise fix things up a bit more
elegantly?
As a newcomer to Java on Linux, may I ask if anyone can give me
an idea as to when 1.3 is likely to be out? I had a number of
Swing bugs in 1.2 (developing on NT) which were fixed when I went
to the recent 1.3beta for NT. I don't know anything about
java implementations; can I try and merge the Swing java source
from 1.3 into my blackdown 1.2preV2 installation or are more
complicated porting methods required?
Thanks for any help,
Brad Rosser
