This bug was fixed in the package openjdk-lts - 11.0.2+9-3ubuntu1

---------------
openjdk-lts (11.0.2+9-3ubuntu1) disco; urgency=medium

  * Sync packages with 11.0.2+9-3:
    - Fix Zero on sparc64 (Adrian Glaubitz). Closes: #920315.
    - Link zero on alpha with --no-relax (Michael Cree). Addresses: #920161.
    - Don't run the tests on alpha, causing build failure.
    - jhsdb isn't built on alpha.
    - Backport the fix for 8214002 (cannot use italic font style if the font
      has embedded bitmap). LP: #1799014.
  * Sync packages with 11.0.2+9-2:
    - Fix file permissions for autopkg tests.

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]).
