Hi,
hope sb could help me with this issue.
Anytime I start a programm basing on Java (the GUI) from the shell I get the following error-msg:
Font specified in font.properties not found [-adobe-times-medium-r-normal--*-%d-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1]

The same msg comes for some other fonts.

Then there are some msgs like this:

Warning cannot convert String "Alt(key)Return,Alt_Key_KP-Enter" to type Virtual Binding.

Anybody else has this problem or has a solution???
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I came across this in the sun's java forum when I was going thru it today and remembered your post in Linuxquestions. I have cut and pasted the discussion thread below. Hope this helps.

Fonts under Linux by PaulRobinshaw

FROM AN EARLIER POST:

This solution is posted at Borlands site.
Get (from MSWindows95/98) the symbol.ttf font (from windows/fonts or whatever) and copy it into your Linux
java fonts directory(jdk1.3.0/jre/lib/fonts).
Then in that same directory edit the "fonts.dir" file. increment the first number by one (eg. change 12 to 13).
Add a line at the bottom to say.. symbol.ttf -urw-symbol-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-adobe-fontspecific
(All on one line, use space bar to make the two columns line up. Do not use Tab bar) "

Ok, this works for the symbol-font.
For others such as Helvetica or Times, I installed them with the TT-K-fontinstaller (KDE) and then it worked..
If sb wonders why backslash or some other keys don't work with jdk1.3 with non-us keyboards: it's a bug in suns jdk1.3. Downloading jdk1.3.1 will fix the problem.
