[Bug 1799014] Re: bold font rendeing in Java is broken in Cosmic with OpenJDK 11

 

> fixed in 11.0.2 in disco.

no, it's not

openjdk-lts-11.0.2+9$ grep 'int renderFlags =' * -r
src/java.desktop/share/native/libfontmanager/freetypeScaler.c:    int renderFlags = FT_LOAD_RENDER, target;

see http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk/jdk12/rev/7ed5edf6ba0c if the fix was
included it should be FT_LOAD_DEFAULT

** Changed in: openjdk-lts (Ubuntu)
       Status: Fix Released => New

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]).
