Make jdk run on SuSe Linux 10
As bug 6416177 exist, Java didn't official support SuSe10 for CCKJ. In case you need run some java application show in CCKJ, do there have any workaround? Here is a step about how to config font support for JDK:
- Check what types of font SuSe support for your language
Go to '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype and view file 'fonts.dir', you will see map between true type font file and it's supported font like this:
FZSongTi.ttf -founder-songti-medium-i-normal-0-0-0-0-c-0-gb18030-0
Try to pick up fonts from that list for JDK's 5 logical font families:
- serif: plain, bold, italic, bolditalic
- sansserif: plain, bold, italic, bolditalic
- monospaced: plain, bold, italic, bolditalic
- dialog: plain, bold, italic, bolditalic
- dialoginput: plain, bold, italic, bolditalic
Abviously, you can use one font represent all of those logical fonts. It's you prefer.
- Make change in fontconfig file
Go to directory <JDK HOME>/jre/lib/, view file 'fontconfig.SuSE.properties.src'. You will see it only support charset 'iso8859-1'. We need put our language's support into it.
For example, we want use '-founder-songti-medium-i-normal-0-0-0-0-c-0-gb18030-0' for logical font 'serif.plain'. We need put following into that fontconfig file:
serif.plain.zh-1=-founder-songti-medium-i-normal-*-%d-*-*-c-*-gb18030-0
Please map all logical fonts to our phyical font alias following about way. After that, we need change the 'Search Sequences' to 'sequence.allfonts=latin-1,zh-1' and put font file names we used into file:
filename.-founder-fangsong-medium-r-normal-*-%d-*-*-c-*-gb18030-0=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype/FZFangSong.ttf
Also, we need put following line in file:
awtfontpath.zh-1=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype
- Last step is change fontconfig filename from 'fontconfig.SuSE.properties.src' to 'fontconfig.SuSE.properties'.
Here is fully sample on my test machine. Restart application, and enjoys!
