    Can you double-check what Java executable you're using? With Processing just having been opened, the procedure is here, typing java instead of update-notifier. It should be <processing install location>/java/bin/java, and then <processing install location>/java/lib/fonts should contain the following:

    AnonymousPro-Bold.ttf
    AnonymousPro-LICENSE.txt
    AnonymousPro-Regular.ttf
    Carlito-Bold.ttf
    Carlito-LICENSE.txt
    Carlito-Regular.ttf
    fonts.dir
    LucidaBrightDemiBold.ttf
    LucidaBrightDemiItalic.ttf
    LucidaBrightItalic.ttf
    LucidaBrightRegular.ttf
    LucidaSansDemiBold.ttf
    LucidaSansRegular.ttf
    LucidaTypewriterBold.ttf
    LucidaTypewriterRegular.ttf
    SourceCodePro-Bold.ttf
    SourceCodePro-LICENSE.txt
    SourceCodePro-Regular.ttf
    SourceSansPro-LICENSE.txt
    SourceSansPro-Regular.ttf
    SourceSansPro-Semibold.ttf
    

    If either of those things isn't true, that's the problem.

    Make sure you're using the latest version of Processing—I don't think this message is even present in the current release.

    This message is still in Toolkit.java and it works; I got it to appear when I was writing the advice above.

    Sorry, I misspoke—this should be fixed in the next release with some changes to how fonts are handled. (See #4639)
