Have you tried the advice, the port gives you:
Note: If Java applets fail to display. Type this as root:
cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc
/usr/X11R6/bin/mkfontdir
chmod 444 fonts.dir
And then exit and restart your X server.
This sounds like it would fix it, as any X verison won't display applets
if the fonts.dir is not correct. These commands rebulid the fonts.dir
so that it is correct.
