Alright... This is the real thing (3 people have reported success with this one). Apparently, XFree86 ships with an broken font database in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc. There are certain fonts in the database which don't exist in the directory, and apparently this is pissing off some of our Xservers (it looks like , the Xserver sends a bad request error to a Netscape thread that kills the Java applet). Here is the fix (as root): cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc /usr/X11R6/bin/mkfontdir Then you'll need to restart your Xserver (or just run "xset fp rehash" as the non-root user). Sujal
