I have now got it working.  Upgrading to 3.0b7 made no difference, but then
I found by looking through the mailing list archives that doing the following
enabled Java to run (logged in as root):

  cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc
  /usr/X11R6/bin/mkfontdir

(I've only tried one site so far, but believe it is an all-or-nothing problem.)
This doesn't seem to have made it into the FAQ yet.
