Hi Mario and Dalibor,
Thanks for you feedback. Let me give more information to reproduce it. 1. Get OpenJDK 1.8 code from http://download.java.net/openjdk/jdk8/ [root@localhost rong]# ls -l openjdk-8-src-b132-03_mar_2014.zip -rwxr--r-- 1 root root 124099402 5月 9 15:34 openjdk-8-src-b132-03_mar_2014.zip 2. Build OpenJDK 1.8, and my build OS is CentOS 6.6, [root@localhost rong]# cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 6.6 (Final) [root@localhost rong]# uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.32-504.el6.i686 #1 SMP Wed Oct 15 03:02:07 UTC 2014 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux and we will get j2re-image and j2sdk-image folder [root@localhost rong]# ls openjdk/build/linux-x86-normal-server-release/images/j2* openjdk/build/linux-x86-normal-server-release/images/j2re-image: ASSEMBLY_EXCEPTION bin lib LICENSE man release THIRD_PARTY_README openjdk/build/linux-x86-normal-server-release/images/j2sdk-image: ASSEMBLY_EXCEPTION bin demo include jre lib LICENSE man release sample src.zip THIRD_PARTY_README Yes, you are right, now there is no fonts folder in jre/lib. [root@localhost openjdk]# build/linux-x86-normal-server-release/images/j2re-image/bin/java -version openjdk version "1.8.0-internal" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0-internal-root_2016_05_09_10_59-b00) OpenJDK Server VM (build 25.0-b70, mixed mode) [root@localhost openjdk]# build/linux-x86-normal-server-release/images/j2sdk-image/bin/java -version openjdk version "1.8.0-internal" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0-internal-root_2016_05_09_10_59-b00) OpenJDK Server VM (build 25.0-b70, mixed mode) 3. Packge j2re-image folder and copied to another Cent OS, this is simple Cent OS installation and without any font files. Suppose naming the jre folder "javaJRE" Another CentOS machine information: [root@va91 UI]# uname -a Linux va91.openjre 2.6.32-573.3.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Aug 13 22:55:16 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux JRE Infomation: [root@va91 UI]# ls javaJRE ASSEMBLY_EXCEPTION bin lib LICENSE man release THIRD_PARTY_README [root@va91 UI]# javaJRE/bin/java -version openjdk version "1.8.0-internal" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0-internal-root_2016_05_09_10_59-b00) OpenJDK Server VM (build 25.0-b70, mixed mode) 4. Actually most Java codes runs well in this jre environment, but following codes (actually 3rd line) will cause NullPointer exception. BufferedImage image = new BufferedImage(200, 200, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB); Graphics2D g2 = image.createGraphics(); FontMetrics fm = g2.getFontMetrics(); Some articles said that's because OpenJRE depends on font files, so I copied some font files, and there are two ways: 1) copied font files into /usr/share/fonts folder, that's good and easy, and exception vanishes and app runs well. 2) By referring to oracle JRE, I copied font files into openjre/lib/fonts folder, and wrote fontconfig.properties. I'm not sure if OpenJRE will parse it but it's worty trying. [root@va91 javaJRE]# ls lib/font* lib/fontconfig.properties lib/fontconfig.properties.src lib/fontconfig.RedHat.6.properties.src lib/fonts: fonts.dir LucidaBrightDemiItalic.ttf LucidaBrightRegular.ttf LucidaSansRegular.ttf LucidaTypewriterRegular.ttf LucidaBrightDemiBold.ttf LucidaBrightItalic.ttf LucidaSansDemiBold.ttf LucidaTypewriterBold.ttf The expecption still disappeared, but FontMetrics fm has some odd values and cause subsequent codes wrong. After further study, I found even I removed all fontconfig* files this problem still existed. That means as long as jre/lib/fonts folder has font files FontMetrics will have wrong value. I don't understand why openjre has this behavior and hope to get answer here. Will OpenJRE read fontconfig.properties and read font from jre/lib/fonts? Thanks for you patience and time.

I suggest to start with a clear description of what the problem is, what is the expected behavior, what is the environment and how to reproduce it, in a simple, possibly self contained way. Then you should file a bug report.

I wonder why font files in jre/lib/fonts folder impact openjre. Here is a brief of this problem, I try to decribe it clearly. I build OpenJDK, and copy j2re-image to my folder such as /home/rong/jre, and use this jre to run my java applicaton. In further study I have found following codes, fm will have wrong value as long as jre/lib/fonts has font files (some ttf files). BufferedImage image = new BufferedImage(200, 200, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB); Graphics2D g2 = image.createGraphics(); FontMetrics fm = g2.getFontMetrics(); But if I moved these font files into /usr/share/fonts folder, the problems goes away. I'm not sure why these font files impact open jre run time. I don't think this problem is related to centos. BTW, I have installed freetype and fontconfig package.
