IcedTea fonts

Hello everyone,
I have a quite fresh Arch installation. I use Firefox as my browser. The installed jre is provided by java-8-openjdk, along with IcedTea. The default fonts in java web applets aren't very nice and I'd like to change them. Unfortunatly I could not find a fontconfig.properties file in /etc/java-8-openjdk or /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk/jre/lib which I believe is the one to edit.
Any hints where and how I can choose my preferred fonts?

Re: IcedTea fonts

If you want decent font-rendering, use Infinality patches.

Firstly, install bohoomil's packages.

Re: IcedTea fonts

Thanks for the replies, but it didn't work.
I try to install jre8-openjdk-infinality using yaourt, but linking yields an error

/usr/bin/objcopy: 'libjvm.so': No such file

In addition some other errors are reported:

recipe for target x failed

... where x is libjvm.so, the_vm, generic_build2, product

Re: IcedTea fonts

Do you have jre8-openjdk-headless installed?

Re: IcedTea fonts

Yes i do.
jre8-openjdk-infinality lists version 7 of openjdk as dependency. If I change it to version 8 in the PKGBUILD file the error stays the same.

Re: IcedTea fonts

linking yields an error

I expect the *real* error is shown above that. You'd need to show more of the output.

Sometimes the real error is e.g. 10 lines above, or 30.

Re: IcedTea fonts

You might have to

export _JAVA_OPTIONS='-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on -Dswing.aatext=true -Dswing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel'

to enable antialiasing in Java applications

Re: IcedTea fonts

There it is, looks like only 5 lines more are interesting. The only thing I changed was to add "unset _JAVA_OPTIONS" as suggested in the AUR comments.
