From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.5 i686) Description of problem: If you run one of the demo's that comes with the Java SDK 1.4.0Beta for Linux, for example, 'java -jar SampleTree.jar', you get a stream of erros of the form: "Font specified in font.properties not found [-adobe-symbol-medium-r-normal--*-%d-*-*-p-*-adobe-fontspecific]" This does not happen under Linux 6.1 (on my laptop). How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Run 'java -jar SampleTree.jar' from the Java SDK 1.4.0 beta 2. 3. Actual Results: It works, but there is a stream of error messages about unknown fonts. Expected Results: Should work without error messages (as it does under Red Hat 6.1). Additional info:
The %d in there makes it look like a bug in the code that is requesting the font. Just a guess, the app has a "%%d" in a format string, but should actually have a "%d" there.
Open up an xterm. What does "xlsfonts | grep adobe-symbol" show?
Created attachment 23467 [details] output of xlsfonts|grep adobe-symbol
This appears to be an application bug, not an XFree86 bug. The fonts are there and list with xlsfonts fine. As postulated before, it appears to be a bug in the format string used to request a font by the application. That "%d" is the key. If you have the source code for it, grep the sources for "\-%%d\-" and you'll likely find the offending source.
