I still see font distortions on ubuntu cosmic: openjdk version "11.0.1" 2018-10-16 OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 11.0.1+13-Ubuntu-2ubuntu1) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0.1+13-Ubuntu-2ubuntu1, mixed mode, sharing)
There is a matching upstream issue for this: http://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=JDK-8214284 In the comments for that issue, a second (fixed) issue is referenced: https://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=JDK-8214002 The fix for that issue was merged to the jdk 12 and jdk branches: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk/jdk12/rev/7ed5edf6ba0c http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk/jdk/rev/7ed5edf6ba0c I build the jdk branch and found the issue fixed. I also rebuild the ubuntu package with the above mentioned patch included (only the change in freetypeScaler.c, not the new test) and also found, that this fixes my problem. I don't know the plans for java in ubuntu regarding LTS releases and patch backports, but it would be great if you could include the patch. For the record: I did not write that patch, it is the referenced changeset above, modified to be applied while building the ubuntu package. ** Patch added: "font-fix.diff" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-lts/+bug/1799014/+attachment/5226426/+files/font-fix.diff -- 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
