This is from the ports page at www.freebsd.org:

	Note: If Java applets fail to display.  Type this as root:
       		        cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc
       		        /usr/X11R6/bin/mkfontdir
                	chmod 444 fonts.dir
      	And then exit and restart your X server.

This fixed me up.
