Install the Java (Cricket) 1.2.2 international version JRE directly from the java.sun.com website
on a Windows 98 Arabic machine.

Run any applet with Arabic text using the plug-in. The result is a crash.

Cause: font.properties.ar file found under /program files/javasoft/jre/1.2/lib did not have a bidi
 font support statement(Support for Lucida Sans Regular)

Fix: Inserted Lucida Sans Regular.TTF into above file:
dialog.3=Lucida Sans Regular, DEFAULT_CHARSET

Also added the following line by the end of the file( font.properties.ar) this line was added:
file_name.Lucida_Sans_Regular=LucidaSansRegular.TTF

This happens in kestrel-beta as well
