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.
