Hello,
On blogs.oracle.com <http://blogs.oracle.com> there was an
announcement of Java 8U40 availability. As far as I could tell from
the release notes there were no changes made to provide better support
for font rendering on *Nix systems - which is why I asked the
following question on:
https://blogs.oracle.com/java/entry/announcing_jdk_8_update_40
<quote>
Question: where are the much needed font rendering fixes for *Nix
platforms? Without tuxjdk (https://code.google.com/p/tuxjdk/)
<https://code.google.com/p/tuxjdk/%29> - which provides a number of
patches on top of OpenJDK, my eyes would really bleed spending a whole
day coding in Netbeans/Intellij or any swing based app on Linux.
Is there a way to get these fixes into Java SE 8?
For details on what tuxjdk is fixing check this out:

A prompt answer was given in that a best approach would be to reach
out to Swing Toolkit Group - which is what I'm now doing :-)
So again: are there plans to give us developers that use Swing based
tools (like Netbeans/Intellij) some decent font rendering on *Nix
systems too? Googling on fonts, swing and *Nix does show that there
are quite a few people suffering from 'bleeding eyes'.
Thanks,
-J.
