-- Fonts in Java application are distorted https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/520515 You received this bug notification because you are a member of OpenJDK, which is subscribed to openjdk-6 in ubuntu. Status in “openjdk-6” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Description: Ubuntu lucid (development branch) Release: 10.04 java version "1.6.0_17" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.7) (6b17-1.7-1ubuntu1) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 14.0-b16, mixed mode) Fonts are massively distorted (see screenshot). Too high and too thin, practically unreadable. Since there is no sun jre available in lucid I cannot verify this bug on other java systems. Application itself works fine with karmic and windows. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openjdk Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openjdk More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
