So that patch wasn't the right thing but as a result of off-list discussion its become clearer how the problem might occur I've updated https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8012351 with the evaluation.
And I think this is the right fix for it: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~prr/8012351/
Please review. Randy says it works for him. If anyone else is seeing this problem it would be nice to know if this fixes it for them too - or not ! I never reproduced the problem myself except by 'forcing' Ubuntu Regular to be ignored in fontconfiguration. -phil. On 01/21/2014 09:34 AM, Ryan Tandy wrote:
Dear JDK team, Further to my earlier message, please find attached the patch that I think solves JDK-8012351. I applied this change to the Ubuntu JDK7 package and made it available at the Launchpad bug for testing; so far one other user commented that it works for them. Can JDK-8012351 be re-opened and this change considered as part of a possible fix?
