JDK-4469874 - Font.createFont not always delete temp font files
Description
When a Font is dynamically created (through a createFont invocation), a temporary file is created that is only cleaned up when the VM exits. This is a problem for server side rendering where the VM can run for very long periods of time and where potentially large number of fonts might be created.
Comments
EVALUATION Problem with font files not deleted in Win32 is already fixed (see 4310747). The complain that we should not create temporary font file is a duplicate of RFE 4468862. jennifer.godinez@Eng 2001-07-23 ===============================
