[Bug 566744] Re: java internal lucida bold variants and external ttf-dejavu faces badly rasterized in KGS cgoban3 client

 

** Description changed:

  - default font appearance settings at 96 dpi
- - have ttf-dejavu* packages and java's internal lucida faces available
+ - have ttf-dejavu* packages and java's internal lucida faces available to fc
  - javaws http://files.gokgs.com/javaBin/cgoban.jnlp
  - play on KGS
  - enter unused nick
  - login by hitting guest
  - look at ugly (too high, ragged) bold fonts game offerings are displayed in (some internal bold lucida)
  - look at e.g. overlapping letter 'g' in nicks displayed in nicklist (some dejavu variant)
  
+ - one can move affected ttfs out of fontconfig's path to see mentioned faces changing (after app restart)
+ - FC_DEBUG=1 javaws ... | grep family | sort | uniq should show them selected, too
  - orderly shaped fonts were displayed with karmic's sun-java6
- - the bad fonts can be seen in openjdk-jre (karmic or lucid) too
+ - the bad fonts can be seen in openjdk-jre (karmic or lucid), too
  
  - maybe some forced dpi change in karmic->lucid transition?
- - maybe some problem in java rasterization requests? (both implementations fail in lucid, openjdk in karmic)
+ - maybe some problem in java rasterization requests? (but both implementations fail in lucid, openjdk in karmic)
+ - maybe some bad font metrics?
+ - maybe errors in rasterization?
