Found it! (while searching for summat else).

--j.

http://www.redhat.com/support/docs/gotchas/6.1/gotchas-6.1-6.html#ss6.10 :

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
