I still see font distortions on ubuntu cosmic: openjdk version "11.0.1" 2018-10-16 OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 11.0.1+13-Ubuntu-2ubuntu1) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0.1+13-Ubuntu-2ubuntu1, mixed mode, sharing)
There is a matching upstream issue for this: http://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=JDK-8214284 In the comments for that issue, a second (fixed) issue is referenced: https://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=JDK-8214002 The fix for that issue was merged to the jdk 12 and jdk branches: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk/jdk12/rev/7ed5edf6ba0c http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk/jdk/rev/7ed5edf6ba0c I build the jdk branch and found the issue fixed. I also rebuild the ubuntu package with the above mentioned patch included (only the change in freetypeScaler.c, not the new test) and also found, that this fixes my problem. I don't know the plans for java in ubuntu regarding LTS releases and patch backports, but it would be great if you could include the patch. For the record: I did not write that patch, it is the referenced changeset above, modified to be applied while building the ubuntu package. ** Patch added: "font-fix.diff" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-lts/+bug/1799014/+attachment/5226426/+files/font-fix.diff -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to freetype in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1799014 Title: bold font rendeing in Java is broken in Cosmic with OpenJDK 11 Status in freetype package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in openjdk-lts package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in openjdk-11 package in Debian: Fix Released Bug description: Since update to Cosmic, I see that bold fonts in Java have broken rendering. See attached 400% scaled PNG for illustration. The 'r' in bold rendering of "Hello World" shows basically a vertical line from the end of the hook end. I am not entirely sure this is freetype issue but some sources (https://github.com/adobe/brackets/issues/14290) suggest there is a bug in the 2.8.1 version that Cosmic seems to install (libfreetype6/cosmic,now 2.8.1-2ubuntu2 amd64 [installed]).
