java.lang.NullPointerException in getAvailableFontFamilyNames

My recently released game, War! Age of Imperialism isn't working on some of my customer's Mac systems. The error is a NPE when getAvailableFontFamilyNames is called.

A google search shows that this is a known bug....but the java-dev archive search was broken, so I couldn't get more info.

MY QUESTION: Is there a known workaround or list of "bad" fonts that cause this NPE to occur? It doesn't happen on either of my Mac development systems, so there must be some other way that bad fonts are introduced.

I must say I am a bit stressed out because the Java implementation on Mac is a moving target. Now that my small company's revenue is dependent upon this, I have real reason to complain. I hope a fix is released soon - it seems to affect lots of appliations. And it seems quite silly that a single bad font is not handled gracefully!

Thanks,

-Doug Donohoe
