OK - I'm going to cut out a lot of the old, resolved history here,
and cut to the chase.

Amazingly, I got the linux-sun-jdk14 built and installed on my NFS
server system (the 200Mhz box) and built the full native jdk14
package.  It only took about 20 hours!  From what everyone had
said, I was sure it was going to literally take days on that
system.

Anyway, now that it is built, I want to install it on my
laptop and a few other machines in my lap that are not
as hefty in the storage department.  When I try to install
it on my laptop
(reeBSD pearl.starfire.mn.org 5.3-STABLE FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE #3: Thu Jan 27 23:26:17 CST 2005     john at dauntless.starfire.mn.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/PEARL  i386)
I get the following:

$ xset fp+ /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/URW

or by adding it to your X-server configuration file (usually
