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).
