Ross,
I would think that the menu fonts are taken from the "Lucida" fonts that are
stored in the fonts directory below jre.lib. So getting text should not be
related to the dingbats fonts. When the first version of the JDK 1.2 was
released, users reported similar problems to those noted in your email. At
least in some cases, the source of the problem was improper permissions on the
font files.
