I originally thought this was the problem too. I have tried both
copying the fonts on the OSF Alpha ( the machine that it works for ) to
a FreeBSD machine and also setting XFree86 to use a font server on the
Alpha. While with both of these methods the extra fonts were picked up,
java applets are still not displayed.
From the responses that I've been getting [ namely, it works for me 8-)
], I think that the problem is due to the specific configuration of X on
the FreeBSD machines we have. I attach our XF86Config file in case
anyone is bored enough to check it. 8-)
Please keep the suggestions coming...
Thanks
