I had trouble too. I'm running netscape-3.0gold. I don't think there are problems with netscape not finding some class files. As suggested on this list, the thing that finally worked for me was mkfontdir in all the X11 font directories. I noticed that before that there were more fonts listed in fonts.dir than I had actually installed (fresh 2.1.5-R). (If I remember right, it was .../X11/fonts/misc.)
