<div>Hello,<br>
<br>
</div>
On <a moz-do-not-send="true" \
href="http://blogs.oracle.com">blogs.oracle.com</a> there was an announcement of \
Java 8U40 availability. As far as I could tell from the release notes there were no \

which is why I asked the following question on: <a

<p>Question: where are the much needed font rendering fixes
for *Nix platforms? Without tuxjdk (<a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://code.google.com/p/tuxjdk/%29" \
rel="nofollow">https://code.google.com/p/tuxjdk/)</a>
- which provides a number of patches on top of OpenJDK, my
eyes would really bleed spending a whole day coding in
Netbeans/Intellij or any swing based app on Linux.</p>
<p>Is there a way to get these fixes into Java SE 8?<br>
For details on what tuxjdk is fixing check this out:<br>

<div>A prompt answer was given in that a best approach would be
to reach out to Swing Toolkit Group - which is what I'm now
doing :-)<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>So again: are there plans to give us developers that use
Swing based tools (like Netbeans/Intellij) some decent font
rendering on *Nix systems too? Googling on fonts, swing and
*Nix does show that there are quite a few people suffering
from 'bleeding eyes'.<br>
