JDK 8
8u221Resolved
Description
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 no longer includes packages which provided TrueType fonts used by JDK for CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) languages.

Text display for those languages will therefore result in missing glyphs.

See JDK-8209672 for a resolution to this issue.
