Re: Missing fonts?

Ross, I would think that the menu fonts are taken from the "Lucida" fonts that are stored in the fonts directory below jre.lib. So getting text should not be related to the dingbats fonts. When the first version of the JDK 1.2 was released, users reported similar problems to those noted in you
