 I don't use ttfm.sh actually, they are for XTT and I use FreeType. I use 
 ttmkfdir from the ports collection.
 2 worthy notes here:
 
 1. Applets had always worked, it's the standalone JVM that b0rks all the 
 time. http://www.chinatimes.com.tw displayed correct Chinese characters 
 while the SwingSet2 demo displayed blank boxen (JFileChooser demo)
 
 2. Distributied font.properties.zh_TW has the last line pointing to 
 /usr/local/share/fonts/TrueType/bsmi00.ttf. If the path is a symlink, in my 
 case linked to /home/local/share/fonts/TrueType/bsmi00.ttf, the JVM will not 
 find the proper font file and resulted in blank boxen too. So the problem 
 lies in the JVM code either when trying to find the properties file or when 
 trying to locate the actual font file.
