[Bug 1799014] Re: bold font rendeing in Java is broken in Cosmic with OpenJDK 11

[Sebastien Bacher]

@Laurent, that changes is supposed to be in the cosmic version of the package though
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-lts/11~28-3ubuntu1

"openjdk-lts (11~28-3ubuntu1) cosmic; urgency=medium

  * Sync packages with 11~28-3."

The debian bug also states that updating openjdk didn't fix the issue
but updating other gtk pacakges did (without specific on which one could
have fixed the issue)

Bug description:
  Since update to Cosmic, I see that bold fonts in Java have broken
  rendering. See attached 400% scaled PNG for illustration. The 'r' in
  bold rendering of "Hello World" shows basically a vertical line from
  the end of the hook end. I am not entirely sure this is freetype issue
  but some sources (https://github.com/adobe/brackets/issues/14290)
  suggest there is a bug in the 2.8.1 version that Cosmic seems to
  install (libfreetype6/cosmic,now 2.8.1-2ubuntu2 amd64 [installed]).
