Hello, a fix for 6378099: RFE: Use libfontconfig to create/synthesise a fontconfig.properties has been recently backported into jdk6:
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk6/jdk6/jdk/rev/ca145c441db0 This change makes jdk6 vulnerable to a problem described in the bug 6752638: java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment.preferLocaleFonts() throws NPE on Linux https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-6752638 I suggest to backport the fix for 6752638 into jdk6 as well. jdk7 changeset: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7u/jdk7u/jdk/rev/40ec164889bd Please note that this changeset contains two different fixes: for 6752638 and for 6755034. The fix for 6755034 is not required for jdk6, so we need to backport only the part of the changeset which is related to 6752638: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~bae/6752638/openjdk6/webrev.00/ With your permissions, I can push the change into jdk6. Thanks, Andrew
