Re: Font handling with OpenJDK VM
OpenJDK doesn't have any defoma backend so it is highly unlikely that
defoma has anything to do with this.
It appears that paths to fonts are hardcoded in these files:
/etc/java-6-openjdk/fontconfig.*
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/fontconfig.*
Despite the name these appear to have nothing to do with the standard
method for finding fonts on Linux (fontconfig):
http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/guide/intl/fontconfig.html
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/fontconfig
This OLPC bug seems to explain the situation well:
https://dev.laptop.org/ticket/8348
Probably OpenJDK upstream needs to gain support for using fontconfig
to dynamically find fonts on Linux.
