Hi Lutz,
Starting the help from the newlisp-edit brought me this fine error,

During all the devlopment of guiserver.jar the JVM has never crashed on me (Mac OS X). The error seems to have its origin in libfontmanager.so, a Linux X-Windows system library? I would send the error log to Sun.

Now I remember Michael having had a similar problem on OS X. After removing a specific font it stopped crashing. It happened when trying to set/use that font.
Load all fonts using gs:get-fonts, then try them out one by one. You could start out with the allfonts-demo.lsp and put a (println ...) statement in to the (dolist ...) where it sets the fonts. Or just turn the trace on and see on which font it bombs.

I think i know the problem, its indeed a font issue!
I had a fresh linux install and dont have the extented font yet.. ;-)
ill check it again when done..
