You (probably ;)) need to do, as root: cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc /usr/X11R6/bin/mkfontdir chmod 444 fonts.dir Do this before you start X. I did that, and, voila, it started to work. Slightly related, I've also been able to compile and run Java applications (not applets) using Guava to compile, and kaffe to run. I can't get anything using threads to work using kaffe yet, but everything else does. It's nice ;).
