JDeveloper 9.0.2 crash on Linux

Question

Hi
Just Downloaded JDeveloper 9.0.2 for my Linux box (Debian 2.2R0
gcc 2.95.4)
and after unziping JDevXXX.zip in /usr/local/JDEV9 and configuring
jdev.conf to point to JAVA_HOME /usr/local/jbuilder6/jdk1.3.1
After ./jdev when main window shows JDeveloper just crashes with message in xterm:
java: ../../../src/share/native/sun/awt/font/fontmanager/fontobjects/fontObject.cpp:298: void fileFontObject::readBlock(size_t, size_t, char *): Assertion `size > 0' failed.
./jdev: line 31: 11581 Aborted ${JAVA} ${JDEV_VM_OPTS} ${JDEV_NATIVE_PATH} ${JDEV_USER_HOME} ${JDEV_ENV_VARS} -classpath ${JDEV_CLASSPATH} ${JDEV_MAIN_CLASS} ${JDEV_APP_OPTS}
any idea?
Is it Sun Bug or What?
JBuilder works good (K6-II 400 + 384 Mb RAM), but Together5.5 got sam problem with their own jdk.

Looks like its the same issue as sun bug 4599491. There is something in the fonts file for your OS which Java doesn't like. You might want to pull down 1.3.1_04 from Sun and install it in a seperate home (not sure if Borland changed anything in the JDK) and try that out.
Apart from that, look at your font configuration files ( not sure where on Linux ) and see if something looks out of line.
Hope this helps,
