GUI application does not work with AIX's JA_JP UTF-8 locale on minimum
software requirements and settings because of following exception:
Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.ClassCastException:
class sun.font.CompositeFont cannot be cast to class
sun.font.PhysicalFont
(sun.font.CompositeFont and sun.font.PhysicalFont are in module
java.desktop of loader 'bootstrap')
About the reasons for this exception:
1. Default physical font is not defined (like Lucida sans)
2. XLFD charset name entries for JA_JP locale have Underscore character
(Underscore character replaces with Space character on
fontconfig.proeprties
(fontconfig.bfs) file loading phase.)
About "1", I'd like to handle it by JDK-8221741 [1].
About "2", OpenJDK for AIX is using fontconfig.properties
(fontconfig.bfc) file
to find out TrueType fonts.
On AIX JCK UTF-8 locales, Java cannot find out TrueType font because
above XLFD charset name issue.
This fix only changes fontconfig.properties for AIX platform
* make/data/fontconfig/aix.fontconfig.properties
