These are all approved for deferral to JDK 9 so you can update the FixVersion to state JDK 9. Kind regards, Mathias

EVALUATION This has the same cause as 6961664 closed/java/awt/print/PrinterJob/GlyphPositions.java fails on 7b97 on oel5.5-x64 The root cause of this exception was introduced by 6795908: ReFactor FontManager and the reason for the NPE is also described and evaluated in 6943487: NPE in makeMultiCharsetString while printing on linux However fixing 6943487 is not sufficient for this particular test on this particular Linux, since its using a synthesised fontconfig on a previously unsupported platform, where we will no longer just fall back to the basic fontconfig.properties file Whilst it will no longer get the exception the test will fail, because in order to create the test at all, it needed to make assumptions about the specific rendering path, which can't be guaranteed. Its not clear yet whether the test can be fixed, or should be retired.
