How did you verify this ? I ask because this file will be (or should be!)
completely ignored by JDK 7 and 8, since it does not have a name that
precisely references Fedora.16 - ie distro AND variant.
In general I am not sure there is even a point to maintaining this file
since
we have code in JDK 7 that pulls the logical font definitions from
/usr/lib/fontconfig
APIs at runtime and so we should match the native desktop without the
maintenance
burden.
The only reason I can think of for having these files any more is if you
consciously
want something very different than GTK/Qt/etc is using ..

Hi all!
http://jvanek.fedorapeople.org/oracle/jdk7/webrev/ and
http://jvanek.fedorapeople.org/oracle/jdk8/webrev/ (actually they are
same) are my fixes for Fedora's fontconfig.
They are sync with newest stable release.
Although this is my first contribution to OpenJDK I have pushed this
change to IcedTea6 already some time ago.
I have successfully tested this on OpenJDK7 head i386 and x86_64. I
was not able to verify jdk8 because I have failed to Build OpenJDK8
(But I'm working on it!), but AFAIK the fontconfig algorithm have not
changed.
Also I have noticed that there is no linux.fontconfig.Rhel.properties.
I have handled this one for IcedTea6 too. How do you see possible
addition of this file?
Looking forward to contribute to OpenJDK7/8
Best regards
