Annoying things in Java JVM

[Bob Tanner <tanner@real-time.com>]

When I run many Java application under linux I always seem to get countless
'missing font' errors.

Font specified in font.properties not found
[--symbol-medium-r-normal--*-%d-*-*-p-*-adobe-fontspecific]
Font specified in font.properties not found
[--symbol-medium-r-normal--*-%d-*-*-p-*-adobe-fontspecific]
Font specified in font.properties not found
[--symbol-medium-r-normal--*-%d-*-*-p-*-adobe-fontspecific]
Font specified in font.properties not found
[--symbol-medium-r-normal--*-%d-*-*-p-*-adobe-fontspecific]
Font specified in font.properties not found
[--symbol-medium-r-normal--*-%d-*-*-p-*-adobe-fontspecific]

I solved many of these issues by using a JAVA_FONT env variable as such:

setenv JAVA_FONTS $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/fonts:/usr/share/fonts/default/ghostscript

My question is, where do you get these fonts for linux?

Also, this blows away my belief in write-one-run-everywhere of Java.
