libfontconfig1 missing in openjdk-8-jre-headless

2015-07-29 Thread Joel Chen
When openjdk-8-jre-headless is used under openjdk-8-jre Docker container, using 
Font in Java application triggers NullPointerException.

This was discussed in https://github.com/docker-library/java/issues/46 issue. 
Please include libfontconfig1 into openjdk-8-jre-headless as 
openjdk-7-jre-headless did. Thank you.

Warmest Regards,
Joel

Hi Tony,

Thank you for your prompt reply. I had filed a bug report 
(https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=793210) last week, but there 
are no updates of anyone looking into it, whether it will be addressed, and 
when it will be.

Warmest Regards,
Joel
