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]).

** Affects: freetype (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Confirmed

** Affects: openjdk-lts (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Confirmed

** Affects: openjdk-11 (Debian)
     Importance: Unknown
         Status: Fix Released
