MarvinSketch on Sabayon: crashes

Hi,

I have been trying to run MarvinSketch and other components of the Marvin suite on my Sabayon Linux machine. I have MarvinBeans 15.9.28 installed (using the 64-bit + JRE shell script installer) and whenever I open up MarvinSketch and try to open up the document style settings window, MarvinSketch crashes. If what I mean by "document style settings window" is somehow ambiguous or confusing see the attached screenshot. Running MarvinSketch from the command-line to give more detailed debugging information gives:

Hi,

It is a known issue which is fixed in later Java versions. Our suggested workaround is to remove the ttf-unifont package or use the latest java to run our application.

Best regards,

Peter

How do I run this application with the latest java? It came with JRE, how do I disable the JRE component to the package? 

You can download the installer without a JRE. It works on 32 and 64 bit too, it will use the java that is installed on the system.
