I filed : (JDK-8001065) [macosx] OpenJDK on OS X should use bundled
freetype, not one from the system
Sample code is just
import java.awt.Font;
public class CreateFont {
public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
Font f = Font.createFont(Font|.TYPE1_FONT, new
java.io.File("mytype1font.pfa"));
}
}
You can get a font from |||
<http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/awt/Font.html#TYPE1_FONT>any
of a gazillion places .. there'll be plenty
on almost any Linux you have handy.

PS .. I could be misremembering or misunderstanding but the other
obstacle I ran into when I looked at this (ages ago) was that the freetype
I built was expecting to be installed in a specific location. I didn't
think it was enough to tell the JDK build to look for the freetype lib,
it seemed that the freetype.dylib was fussy about where it was placed.
Could you also check that your build works and really loads *your*
version of the lib - try using a Postscript Type 1 font via Font.createFont(),
that should trigger it.

You need to create a bug at<http://bugreport.sun.com/bugreport/> describing
what you want to change, and then attach a new patch. Mike's review plus one other
will be enough to get it into JDK 8. JDK 7u will need two reviewers, since I think
the Java2D team owns this part of the code. (I cc'd Phil Race).

What number is that ? I think its just an incident. I will file a JIRA bug
on this shortly .. but I had tried the patch yesterday and FWIW it doesn't
seem to remove "build" dependency on the system libfreetype ..
I don't think anything you did caused this because it would already fail
for me in the sanity check at the beginning but a complete fix would
address this too where it seems the ALT_ path is not making it through
to tools/freetypecheck/Makefile

Exiting because of the above error(s).

Also did you try this in the old and new build systems ?
Finally, the way we build internally I guess our jprt and R/E builds of
openjdk on OS X (if the latter were tried at all) should be made capable
of using a custom freetype build. I think they can be ignorant of
this change for now, but without creating a build and making them use
it they will still spit out builds which rely on the system freetype
