EVALUATION I still don't think this bug is applicable to jdk7 or 8 as per my initial comments. I'm going to re-open 7175487 for investigating on jdk 7 & 8 and close this subCR More analysis : === The main difference in fix for 6951776 was to have the DISTRIB_ID/DISTRIB_RELEASE properties parsed as only the last attempt. It's already present in jre 7 codebase. I do see one other difference though (in the parsing logic) between 6 & 7. In jre 6 /etc/sun-release is parsed first - in jre 7 /etc/fedora-release is parsed first. We never look for /etc/fedora-release in jre 6. That change came in via 7013646 (and not 6951776). ===

EVALUATION The same fix is required in JDK 7 and 8 to support fontconfig customization.

EVALUATION This doesn't appear to be an issue in the JDK 7 code. Code already ressembles the JDK6 fix. Closing as not an issue.
