Well thanks for all the trys, but nothing has worked.
Here is a list of what I have tried:
1. Download the URW fonts form www.gimp.org
2. untared the tarball in /usr/X11R6/share/fonts which is
linked to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts
3. moved to that directory and did
/usr/sbin/ttmkfdir -o fonts.scale
mkfontdir
4. manually added the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/URW path
to /etc/X11/fs/config
5. did a /usr/sbin/chkfontpath -- add /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/URW
6. did a /usr/sbin/chkfontpath -- list (the new dir shows up)
7. did a /etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs restart
Same "font not found" error shows up when I start the JDK.
Any other trys?
All comments welcome. If I get a fix I will post to the list.
