Build for 12.04

Closed this issue · 9 comments

Hi, I tried to build 14.04 source to 12.04, but build fails with '-02 unknown option.' Building process was really long on atom.
Maybe, you can apply back 12.04 support. Many people use 12.04 (and it has support).

There's still a 12.04 package in my repo that builds off the last infinality patch. It should still work okay.

7u51-2.4.4 is old and insecure. Or you meen that I can use rules file from 7u51-2.4.4 source in 7u55-2.4.7 trusty source from ppa?

Ah, I thought you were talking about the freetype package and not the openjdk ones. Yeah, those are outdated.

Started a build for precise.

Thanks, but fonts ugly even with new jdk. (no any difference with -Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=lcd before and after upgrade)
Any ideas? I don't want to install infinality (freetype) packages, they will broke my ubuntu font rendering. Any ideas?
as example: -Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on
-Dswing.aatext=true
-Dswing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel
is the same as one -Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=lcd.
And -Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=lcd with -Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on looks the same.
-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=lcd and -Dsun.java2d.xrender=true also no difference

Hard to tell. Are you sure it's running with the patched jre?

Checked three times. Only patched version installed. Also normal fonts in editor is too bold, but normal sized in menu. Opensans light used in text editor on screen. Without -Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=lcd or -Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on string fonts displayed without any hinting.

The solution to the superbold fonts with any openJDK is uninstalling a fonts package:

sudo apt-get remove fonts-unfonts-core

As established here http://askubuntu.com/a/125619

Closing since original issue has been resolved. If the superbold thing is still occurring, then that will be a separate issue.
