It's in font-adobe-utopia-type1-1.0.1 required by xorg-7.4_1.  I haven't
otherwise modified my setup, so openjdk6 must get it from fontconfig.

Well, it's a Type1 font.  The world seems to favour TrueType these days.
I'll poke about and see if I can find a Type1 vs TrueType trend in this,
or if it's just Utopia.
