I tried this and Netscape ran Java for me for the first time _ever_, but
other X programs started using scaled versions of bitmapped fonts - bleaurgh.

Thinking about fonts inspired me, though; I copied the fonts.properties that
the Linux JDK ports at http://www.jmcm.org/tech/ports/linux_jdk.html installed,
and that works too.

(This is with the Linux Netscape version; I haven't tried with the FreeBSD
native version.)
