Seems that I've stumbled across Blackdown java plugin affects swing GUI (Bugzilla Bug 69318).
I'm going to re-emerge xorg-x11 as suggested in there.
[EDIT]:
Funny, this indeed did the trick!

You can change the fonts that the Java runtime is using by creating a font.properties file. I'm running Blackdown JDK 1.4.1, so the files live in /opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1/jre/lib: adjust to suit your system. What you want to do is copy font.properties to font.properties.Linux (note the capital L). Edit the new file and change the iso8859 references in font names to iso10646 and save. Now it wil default to using the fonts that ship with Blackdown and friends.
Java scans for a font.properties file in a particular order as described here: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/intl/fontprop.html
The new file fits JavaHome/lib/font.properties.OS and will be found before the basic font.properties. If you are not an English user then you might need to add a language code to the file name.

Chris,
Thanks for this tip -- I was running into horrible rendering problems on the many java/Swing apps I use. This saved me tons of debug time. |

I had a problem with ddd not finding the lucidatypewriter font. It was solved by emerging media-fonts/font-bh-lucidatypewriter-100dpi and media-fonts/font-bh-lucidatypewriter-75dpi

Thanks for the hint... but it didn't work:
| Code: | savage@tigger ~ > ddd
Warning: Could not load font "-*-lucidatypewriter-medium-*-*-*-*-9-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*", using font "fixed" instead
Warning: Could not load font "-*-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-*-*-*-9-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*", using font "fixed" instead
Warning: Could not load font "-*-lucidatypewriter-bold-*-*-*-*-9-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*", using font "fixed" instead |
I still got the same old issue. But I guess I am kind of used to it by now. I don't like it, but at least it works...

Yeah, that solved it for me (after restarting Xorg). |
