error output:

"HeapByteBuffer.java @ line 127" Quite strange .. it seems to produce completely the same error with version 1.0.7 ..I am pretty sure it was running well before last Ubuntu dist-upgrade (Jaunty Jackalope 9.04)

..anyone experienced the same?
thanks

OK, it is not a Processing bug, but rather system-font mess. So sorry for posting here.

If anyone will experience this error, I can post a solution. It is all about locating wrong "ttf" file used by system.

Thanks to bugzilla for a great support.

Yes, I wanted to hint the error might come from a corrupted TTF file, but since I don't know much about Linux nor how to detect the culprit file, I shut up... Sad
