(new to 1.2)

Whenever a java app connects to the Xserver (ie. during the
call to the JFrame constructor to create the window) java tries
to add directories to the X servers font path:

/usr/openwin/lib/locale/... and /usr/openwin/lib/X11/...

Xterminals (NCD in my case) don't necessarily use a font path
(we use a font server instead) so the X server spends about
45-60 seconds choking on this before the window gets
created. After that, everything is fine. (BTW, choking means
the whole Xterminal hangs).

I take it the runtime just assumes you have a workstation and
that it is OK to add to the fontpath. This is not a safe
assumption.
