    Solaris-specific bugs
    • This isn't Java3D-specific, but warnings of the following form occur on some Solaris 2.5.1 and some Solaris 2.6 systems when running any Java program with JDK1.2. 
    • Font specified in font.properties not found
      [-b&h-lucida sans-medium-r-normal-sans-*-%d-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1]
      Font specified in font.properties not found
      [-b&h-lucida sans-medium-i-normal-sans-*-%d-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1]
      ... 
      This problem can be fixed by installing the optional ISO font package SUNWi1of.
