The following reply was made to PR java/76658; it has been noted by GNATS. From: "Jiawei Ye" <leafy@moderntimes.com.tw> To: <freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org>, <leafy@leafy.idv.tw> Cc: Subject: Re: java/76658: font.properties actual font file cannot point to a symlink Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2005 10:22:42 +0800 I don't use ttfm.sh actually, they are for XTT and I use FreeType. I use ttmkfdir from the ports collection. 2 worthy notes here: 1. Applets had always worked, it's the standalone JVM that b0rks all the time. http://www.chinatimes.com.tw displayed correct Chinese characters while the SwingSet2 demo displayed blank boxen (JFileChooser demo) 2. Distributied font.properties.zh_TW has the last line pointing to /usr/local/share/fonts/TrueType/bsmi00.ttf. If the path is a symlink, in my case linked to /home/local/share/fonts/TrueType/bsmi00.ttf, the JVM will not find the proper font file and resulted in blank boxen too. So the problem lies in the JVM code either when trying to find the properties file or when trying to locate the actual font file. Regards, Jiawei Ye
