Using the -Dsun.java2d.debugfonts=true option I've seen that java scan
for many fonts at startup.. it surely slowes down the application.. and
if it take some strange font can make the jvm crash (I have this
problem on suse 10.1 with a call to new Font("",Font.bold,9) ).
Does anybody know a way to set a limit to the font directory scanned by
the jvm

There is no such thing as 'Font.bold'. Did you mean 'Font.BOLD',
or did you mean the code will not compile?

Yes I mean Font.BOLD.. but I'm just awake so.. forgive my terrible
error :D

just to not lose the main topic:
however.. how to limit the set of directories that the jvm will scan?
