Bob hit the nail squarely on the head with:
======================================================================
There is a file font.properties in the directory
$MOZILLA_HOME/java/classes/
The version Netscape supply is broken because it has Sun-specific fonts in
it. A much better one can be found in the Tru64 Java distribution; if you
have installed Java it will be somewhere like
/usr/opt/java122/jre/lib/font.properties
======================================================================
I have a copy of the font.properties he sent me if anyone wants it.
Original question:

>ES40, TU64 5.0 PK1

>We are having problems with Netscape 4.n
>When a Netscape window is opened on an Xterminal (NCD in this case) and
>it tries to download a Java applet, Netscape crashes with a segfault.
>This happens with Netscape 4.0, 4.5 and 4.7, but not with 3.n
>and only happens when the browser window is opened on an Xterm.

>If we use a machine with a graphics display to telnet to the ES40,

>have been installed for years and are used in hundreds of applications so
>I dont suspect them. Does anyone else have this problem? Clues? Suggestions?
