This was fixed upstream in JDK7 as far back as 2008: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-6378099
The code that talks to libfontconfig is in http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7u/jdk7u/jdk/file/tip/src/solaris/native/sun/awt/fontpath.c As per http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7u/jdk7u/jdk/file/tip/src/solaris/classes/sun/awt/X11FontManager.java (see the comments at line 723) fontconfig.properties is not actually used any more under normal conditions. The configuration retrieved by querying libfontconfig can only be overridden with a file matching the specific distro and version: so fontconfig.Debian.7.0.properties but not fontconfig.Debian.properties or fontconfig.properties. The legacy fontconfig.properties might still be used as a fallback if querying the system fontconfig fails for some reason. So since then the fontconfig.properties shipped in openjdk-7 has actually been unused on any system with working fontconfig. Maybe it can be dropped. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openjdk Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openjdk More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
