  6.10 Netscape crashes on pages containing Java pages 

  Problem: 

  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. 

  Fix: 

  There is a problem in one of the installation RPMs that causes many
  systems to have an incomplete list of fontpaths 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
