Description Nicolas Mailhot 2009-01-24 16:15:47 UTC 
A huge font repackaging operation is ongoing in Rawhide.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Repackaging_of_Fedora_fonts

IIRC java is still not 100% fontconfig-ified and depends on font files location.

Please check before each Alpha/Beta/Test releases the distro font changes have not broken something openjdk-side
Comment 1 Nicolas Mailhot 2009-02-18 19:33:35 UTC 
This is a reminder for all the packagers that still have bugs open about adapting to font packaging guidelines there is only one month left before Fedora 11 beta:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/11/Schedule

A week of this month will see the Fedora 11 mass rebuild, that will load the build farm:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_11_Mass_Rebuild

As already converted packages showed it is quite possible to make mistakes during the conversion. Please make releng and QA happy and don't wait till the last minute to do your changes (avoid pre-beta panic). If possible start before the mass rebuild so we don't burn cycles on incorrect packages.

The PackageKit enhancements stated for Fedora 11 assume fonts and font-using packages are sane (basically respect packaging guidelines). It is quite possible that not-converted packages will interact with the F11 font autoinstall feature in "interesting" ways.

We don't want that

There is extensive documentation on the wiki and most of your questions have likely already been answered there. Please do read the FAQ before making more work for the support team by asking questions answered there.
