+====== Missing Symbol font when running Java under Linux ======
+** Problem **
+Running Java under Linux returns the following error:
+  Font specified in font.properties not found
+  [[-symbol-medium-r-normal-*-%d-*-*-p-*-adobe-fontspecific]]
+** Solution **
+Get a copy of the TrueType font ''symbol.ttf'' from a Windows machine (usually located in ''C:\WINNT'' or ''C:\WINDOWS'') and place it in the JDK fonts directory (e.g. ''/usr/java/jdk1.3.0_01/jre/lib/fonts/'')
+Edit the ''fonts.dir'' file also located in the font directory, include the following:
+  symbol.ttf -urw-symbol-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-adobe-fontspecific
+//(The white space between the font name and description are spaces not tabs.)//
+You will also need to add 1 to the number of fonts listed in the first line of the ''fonts.dir'' file.
+You may have to repeat the procedure with JRE if also installed (e.g. ''/usr/java/jre/lib/fonts'')
