Yes it creates bfc files which are faster to load than the source version. OpenJDK *can* use those files created as a custom fontconfig.properties and if you are on Windows you don't have fontconfig API.
So in short it is still needed and useful. -phil. On 8/23/11 4:49 AM, Aekold Helbrass wrote:
Good day All! Tell me please what is CompileFontConfig and how is it used in OpenJDK? As far as I understand - it creates those *.bfc files from text ones, but why OpenJDK needs it if it is possible to use fontconfig API to get default desktop fonts? Thanx!
