See share/lib/fonts/. These are TrueType fonts though. Robert suggests you may need a TrueType font server (e.g. xfsft) for them to be useful, but I'm pretty sure I'm not running a TrueType font server and they appear to just work for me. I'm still going to install the URW fonts and give them a go though :). P.S. the default font.properties is from the FreeBSD Java porting team. Its based on the Solaris 5.5.1 font.properties that is in the standard JDK 1.2.2 source if I remember correctly. -- Greg Lewis glewis@trc.adelaide.edu.au Computing Officer +61 8 8303 5083 Teletraffic Research Centre To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
