Comments
EVALUATION This is just the secondary problem, the real problem is that all logical fonts are falling back to Lucida Sans Regular. Another manifestation of this problem is that monospaced isn't monospaced. The reason is that OpenSolaris doesn't have the Solaris fonts, and JDK has never supported OpenSolaris. The versions of JDK that have been bundled with OpenSolaris have custom font configurations provided by the OpenSolaris team, just as Linux distros do. We'll need to create a custom fontconfig file for OpenSolaris, and make the necessary changes to pick it up. Note that JDK 7 has a new and different approach already implemented so this is not applicable to that release. The JDK 7 solution is 6378099 RFE: Use libfontconfig to create/synthesise a fontconfig.properties.
