Description Bernardo Costa 2010-12-28 01:37:35 UTC

As per what I have seen in bug #266295, the fontconfig file describes the fonts used and searched for by icedtea. Nevertheless, icedtea does not depend on media-fonts/dejavu which provide the files such as in

filename.DejaVu_Sans=/usr/share/fonts/dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf

Probably one more dependency to add.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install icedtea6-bin, without media-fonts/dejavu
2. Browse to http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml
Actual Results:  
The applet runs, but only a small fraction of the letters appear, and are very badly displayed

Expected Results:  
All text should display correctly.

Dejavu is the default font used by icedtea. Added dejavu as a dependency with use X, other fonts with use X and use cjk.

Fixed in icedtea-bin-6.1.10.4-r1.ebuild icedtea-bin-7.2.0-r2.ebuild icedtea-6.1.10.4-r2.ebuild and icedtea-7.2.0-r2.ebuild.

Thanks for the report.
