Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7.4
Cause
RHEL v7.4 comes with package stix-fonts. When this package is installed, the default font changed from Utopia to STIX. So, java now default fonts are mapped to STIX, including the sans-serif font family.
For whatever reason, the STIX fonts do not seem to play well with java (OpenJDK) and cause exceptions and bad calculated artifacts positioning when using java.awt.
Resolution
Create a file named /etc/fonts/local.conf with the following content in order to force back Utopia as the default font, used by java:
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM 'fonts.dtd'>
<fontconfig>
<alias>
<family>serif</family>
<prefer><family>Utopia</family></prefer>
</alias>
<alias>
<family>sans-serif</family>
<prefer><family>Utopia</family></prefer>
</alias>
<alias>
<family>monospace</family>
<prefer><family>Utopia</family></prefer>
</alias>
<alias>
<family>dialog</family>
<prefer><family>Utopia</family></prefer>
</alias>
<alias>
<family>dialoginput</family>
<prefer><family>Utopia</family></prefer>
</alias>
</fontconfig>
