Today I uninstalled and afterwards installed again chromium which led to the package ttf-bitstream-vera to be uninstalled and the package noto-fonts to be installed (I guess the font dependency for chromium was changed?).
The lack of the ttf-bitstream-vera package broke Java GUIs. See for example a screenshot of IntelliJ below: http://oi65.tinypic.com/bhjg90.jpg. The problem is solved either by switching from oracles jdk to openJDK or by re-installing the ttf-bitstream-vera.
I am confused with regards to how the lack of a font package can cause such a problem. Does anybody have an explanation for this?

Probably one of the glyphs has wrong infromation about its metrics or Swing is calculating height wrong.
Sometimes I seem a bit harsh — don’t get offended too easily!
