To speed things along I'm attaching a test case. To reproduce the issue.
1. Ensure the "dejavu" font is not installed - ie ensure package "ttf-dejavu" is not installed.
2. Install "sun-java6-jre" package.
3. Run the attached and open the "serif.png" file it creates. Note the lack of serifs.
to fix, either
4a. install "ttf-dejavu" package, or
4b. remove /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/lib/fontconfig.Ubuntu.*
This still applies in 1.6.0_26.
