fallback font and applet?
Suppose you wanted an applet to display some non-standard characters, and you installed the font in the jre/lib/fonts/fallback directory. Would you have to install the font on the server machine where the applet is served from, or on each client machine that will point a browser at the web page containing the applet? Thanks.

I don't know much about applets, but it certainly won't help you to install fonts on the server - they have to be available on the client machine.
And I wouldn't think you could install a font via an applet (for security reasons), so I think you would have to include such a custom font with your applet - as suggested here: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/2d/text/fonts.html
But this is just guess work, I haven't worked with applets for the past 8 years at least.
