I'm sorry but it seems that this really is the fatal error described in the FAQ.
You have a font that makes Apple Java 1.4.1 crash. This font is not really corrupted. It is harmless for other Mac OS X apps but is fatal for some Java apps (those using javax.swing.text.html). The only workaround (besides upgrading to 10.3/Java 1.4.2) is to find which font causes these troubles and to remove it.
