No I'm not sure since I don't work in the client area, but at least the
people there will know where this discussion belongs. I can tell you
with certainty that build-dev is not the correct list.

Anyway, it seems that OpenJDK for Linux is shipped with an inferior font
rendering by default, and that at the same time there is a number of
patches around which attempt to improve this. Sometimes applied by distro
packagers, more often not. Android-studio possibly uses a variant with such
a patch applied. Perhaps this one https://github.com/tuxjdk/tuxjdk, I have
no idea.
But, why aren't these patches integrated into OpenJDK, if the problem
persists for years already?
