[opensuse] Java update killed font anti-aliasing (11.1)
Hi, Yesterday the Updater Applet notified me of an available Java update which I installed. As a result fonts are no longer anti-aliased in at least one Java application (BlogBridge). I have not checked the others yet. As far as I can tell I now have Java Runtime Environment 1.6.0.u14-0.2.1 Thanks for your help. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I changed the default fontconfig (to be conform with openjdk) but it just used Logical font names (DejaVu) instead of x11 font names. Does aliasing works in other (non Java) application? $ rpm -q --changelog java-1_6_0-sun | head * Thu Jun 11 2009 mvyskocil@suse.cz - fixed bnc#510016: Chinese fonts display Merged fontconfig.SuSE.properties with openjdk: * used logical font names ("DejaVu Sans") instead of X11 names * use Arphic PL fonts for Chinse, instead of non existent sazanami * use UnDotum and UnBatang fonts for Korean, instead of baekmukttf-batang - fixed bnc#494536: Updating Java overwrites a custom certs Mark the following files as %config(noreplace): * jre/lib/security/cacerts * jre/lib/security/java.policy Regards Michal Vyskocil

Assuming you are asking if *anti-*aliasing works in other applications: yes all other applications look fine. As a matter of fact fonts in some java apps look OK too. /~jc -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I don't know what's happening on your system or with that particular application, but what I noticed (just now) in a couple of apps with fairly straightforward Swing (Java GUI toolkit) interfaces that I use is that where before the update I had no anti-aliasing, now I do. In another application I use that has a much more sophisticated UI that handles its own anti-aliasing and provides considerable font control to its user there was no observable change in its appearance after the Java upgrade to u14. It probably goes without saying (especially at this juncture), but: YMMV Randall Schulz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
