Could you please run this query against your configuration directory
server and do base64-decoding the nsPreference value?

$ ldapsearch -x -h <host> -p <port> -D 'cn=directory

Don't seem to have a preference.

Then, what happens if you add this attribute value to the entry?

No difference. If I go through the font preferences dialog though, it appears
that SansSerif is getting mapped to Dialog or DialogInput which is not
rendering well. How do I track java font substitutions or find out where the
Dialog font is coming from?

I can manually set them all to Bitstream Sans and that gets most of the fonts
working. The login screen and some drop down lists are still bad though - so
the fonts used in those must not use configured values.

Looks the problem fonts are Hershey fonts installed from ghostscript-fonts.
Not sure how to exclude them or why they are being chosen.
