The fonts which the default font.properties uses come with the JDK code. See share/lib/fonts/. These are TrueType fonts though. Robert suggests you may need a TrueType font server (e.g. xfsft) for them to be useful, but I'm pretty sure I'm not running a TrueType font server and they appear to just work for me.
I was under the impression that you needed support in the X server as well. Could you run xdpyinfo on your system and look at what extensions are installed.
I'm still going to install the URW fonts and give them a go though :).
They make Netscape look *much* better.
The fontpath to use is:
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/URW" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi"
This came from a message to freebsd-java last year.
P.S. the default font.properties is from the FreeBSD Java porting team. Its based on the Solaris 5.5.1 font.properties that is in the standard JDK 1.2.2 source if I remember correctly.
It might be worth producing a third variant of font.properties that works for the standard fonts.
