So I am trying to change the fonts on the blackdown JDK.  Specifically because I just 
think they are ugly :)

What I am trying to do is use the fonts setup in the IBM JDK 1.1.8 with their 
font.properties.  However when I copy the font.properties to overwrite the 
./jre/lib/font.properties I get:

main: Font specified in font.properties not found 
[-b&h-lucida-bold-r-normal-sans-*-%d-75-75-p-*-iso8859-1]
main: Font specified in font.properties not found 
[-b&h-lucida-medium-r-normal-sans-*-%d-75-75-p-*-iso8859-1]
main: Font specified in font.properties not found 
[-b&h-lucida-bold-i-normal-sans-*-%d-75-75-p-*-iso8859-1]
main: Font specified in font.properties not found 
[-b&h-lucida-medium-i-normal-sans-*-%d-75-75-p-*-iso8859-1]    

I noticed that in ./jre/lib/fonts it looks like these fonts already exist and the VM 
isn't getting the ones provided by the Window Manager (which I know exist because I 
use them in the IBM JDK and they don't provide fonts.

I have tried deleting these fonts and creating a fonts.dir with 0 entries.  But this 
doesn't work.  From what I can tell it is hard coded into the VM that if there are any 
b&h-lucida fonts to get them from the ./fonts dir but I don't want to use these 
because they are ugly.

So what I am asking is there anyway to tell the Blackdown JDKL to always ignore the 
./fonts directory and *only* get the ones from the font server.  This would fix a lot 
of problems for me.

Thanks.
