CF/JRun JRE access to system fonts

[nmische]

I'm evaluating a 3rd party Java library to use with ColdFusion for PowerPoint
management. ([url]http://www.tonicsystems.com[/url]) One of the libraries, the
Transformer, can be used to convert slides to any Java supported image format.
The problem I'm running into is that while running the Transformer library
under ColdFusion some fonts are not being found, so the generated images have
boxes where characters should be. If I run the library outside of ColdFusion
under my locally installed SDK (J2SDK 1.4.2._11) the library works fine. Does
anyone know if there is any special configuration I need to give the CF JRE
aceess to the system fonts?

Thanks,

could be the encoding is mildly messed up (boxes are symptoms of a font
not being able to render that character) or that font is simply not on
the server.

The font is on the server. (I working on my local development box, which is the
same system I used to create the presentation.) How could I go about checking
out encoding issues?

I don't know if it matters (it probably does) but the font we are having issues with is wingdings, which PowerPoint uses for bullet points in some of its default designs.
