We usually don't have fontconfig on AIX and it would be nice if AWT
would still work even without fontconfig. There are also other ancient
operating systems without fontconfig like for example HP UX which are
not currently supported by OpenJDK but by commercial licensees of the
OpenJDK source base.
This means that Caciocavallo will not work on AIX. Roman, is it expected?

In the event that we can't find fontconfig for some reason, this should
allow us to limp along moderately well as opposed to being in dire straits.

Hello, Roman, Phil.
The fix looks fine except an absent documentation in new class and
InternalError + 80 chars per line.
But I have a question: do we really need this failback?

I got no reply, so I'm sending it here, maybe it's a better fit? ;-)
font related discussions should go to 2d-dev.
The change looks OK. But test it as much as
you can. The previous re-factoring in JDK7
had a fairly long bug trail.
Ok. I tested a couple of applications, including Java2Demo, Font2DTest
and some more. They all work fine for me.
- Do submit a bug and mark it noreg-cleanup
Done:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8072436
- Do get a 2nd reviewer before committing.
How do I do that? That seems to be the tricky part.. ;-)
- Do update the (C) in the new file to 2015 since the clock ticked
since you first sent the review.
Done:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~rkennke/refactor-x11fm/webrev.01/
I only updated the (C) of the new file, can I leave the existing
copyrights alone?
Thanks & best regards,

Hello,
I am currently working on a port of AWT/Java2D to DirectFB (using
Caciocavallo [1] as a porting layer).
I hit one obstacle that is the X11FontManager. I want to use fontconfig
to work with fonts, but can't use anything X11.
I refactored X11FontManager and related classes and native code to
avoid
calling anything X11 specific. Basically I created a superclass of
X11FontManager called FcFontManager that does all the fontconfig
related
stuff, and use that in my backend. The changes should not affect the
X11
implementation.
Can you please review the changes here:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~rkennke/refactor-x11fm/webrev.00/
I would like to push this into jdk9-client if you think it's ok.
Best regards,
Roman
