Netscape crashes on Java pages (REF#990511-0082)
Description:
I have installed Red Hat Linux 6.0 and Netscape keeps crashing when I
reach a page with Java applets in it. I have
also noticed that some of my applications do not display fonts
correctly.
What is going on?
Solution:
There is a problem in one of the installation RPMS that is causing
many systems to not have a complete list of
fontpath for X to use.
To see if this is the problem you are facing, please use the command
chkfontpath --list
You should get output that looks like the following:
Current directories in font path:
1: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled
2: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled
3: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled
4: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc
5: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1
6: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo
You should then add the 75dpi scaled font to your path list using the
command:
chkfontpath --add /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi
This should fix the problem you are seeing.
