In another thread ("I don't understand ---> ./atomic/jogl-fonts-p0.jar") I was struggling with font problems on Ubuntu with OpenJDK. This was determined to be because the Ubuntu font was left out for now of the jogl fat jar I am using. I managed to get things in my JOGL programming working satisfactorily as described in that thread, but font problems (if they are font problems) in my J3D code are beyond my reach at this time. So, below is my environment info and the crash stack trace...

====
I develop on a OS X 10.14.3 and it all works fine there.

====
OS: Ubuntu 18.04.1
Netbeans: 8.2
