I confirm that on my Debian sid+experimental system, fonts look OK in openjdk-11. I tried to investigate the problem in Ubuntu cosmic by first trying to determine which fonts are used by the JRE. I used this command: cat /proc/$(pidof java)/maps | grep font and only found files from /var/cache/fontconfig/ and no actual font files. Other applications have files from /usr/share/fonts/, but not the JRE. Without this I do not know where to look further :<... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1799014 Title: bold font rendeing in Java is broken in Cosmic with OpenJDK 11 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/freetype/+bug/1799014/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
