Hello Václav, or anyone else affected,

and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-
lts/11.0.2+9-3ubuntu1~18.04.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed
repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See

to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not
fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the
tag to verification-failed-bionic. In either case, without details of
your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at

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]).
