I'm confused how this would not negatively impact the user experience, because things like FreeType and HarfBuzz in Fedora have features and configuration that are non-default that improve the font rendering capabilities of applications that link to FreeType. I would rather have our shared maintenance and evolution of font stuff be reused in Java too... -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
