The JDK source code seems to indicate that only X11 native fonts, FreeType and Postscript Type 1 fonts are supported or recognized. This would explain why fonts like STIX (an OpenType font) are not recognized. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Thanks!

That's a feature

...

There is also a slight naming difference - OpenJDK names the fonts using just the English parts of the font name shown by fc-list.

This part won't work. Not all fonts have English names (it can be trivially be checked by running repo-font-audit from fontpackages-tools on a Fedora, RHEL or Centos repository, this is one of its checks) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Hm.. So I downloaded all packages in the group Font and ran this tool against a new repo containing those packages.

See the last part of http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-fonts-list/2009-June/msg00001.html for example (this is an *old* repo-font-audit report, many font packages have been added since)

Are you talking about "packages with localized metadata but no English variant" section? I tried out installing sazanami-gothic-fonts (which my local repo-font-audio report also pointed out) and fc-list shows "Sazanami Gothic,さざなみゴシック" (it still has an english name). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

To really see what's in a font file you need to use fc-query $ fc-query /usr/share/fonts/sazanami/gothic/sazanami-gothic.ttf Pattern has 20 elts (size 32) family: "Sazanami Gothic"(s) "さざなみゴシック"(s) familylang: "ar"(s) "ja"(s) So sazanami does not have an English name, it has an Arabic and Japanese name $ fc-query /usr/share/fonts/gfs-theokritos/GFSTheokritos.otf Pattern has 19 elts (size 32) family: "GFS Theokritos"(s) familylang: "el"(s) And this one only declares a Greek name It's pure luck than in both cases the non-English name was filled with an English string, you can't rely on it for a general-purpose java engine Also when you filter the names declared by fonts, that means all the CSS-y dialects people use nowadays can fail (because they can reference one of the names you've filtered out). IIRC there have been efforts to expose the Postscript font name in fontconfig recently in addition to the TrueType one, because some pdf generators are fond of using this font name in their font references, so software that filters those names out can not display the resulting files correctly. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Ah, thanks for the explanation. I dug into the OpenJDK source code to find that Java picks one name for every font. The name is either the the last english name in the font file or (if there is no english name) the first non-english name. So Java should not have problems handing the actual fonts, but it may not associate the right localized name with the font (based on your localization settings). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
