Error description
Error Message: N/A . Stack Trace: N/A . From zOS 2.1 onwards, worldtype fonts are shipped with operating system in the system path '/usr/lpp/fonts/worldtype'. The fontconfig.properties file for Java on zOS only had entries for True Type fonts in JRE/lib path. As system fonts are included in the zOS 2.1, Java can support those font entries also in the fontconfig properties file.
Local fix
Problem summary
As system fonts are included in the operating system from zOS 2.1 onwards, Java has to support those font entries also in the fontconfig properties file. The existing entries for the fonts, tnrwt_j.ttf & mtsansdj.ttf, are replaced with the corresponding system font path '/usr/lpp/fonts/worldtype'. As system fonts are available only from zOS 2.1, those Java users running in lower version of zOS has to copy the fonts 'tnrwt_j.ttf & mtsansdj.tt' to the path '/usr/lpp/fonts/worldtype' or update the entries in fontconfig properties file with the exact location of the font files.
Problem conclusion
This defect will be fixed in: 6.0.0 SR15 6.0.1 SR7 7.0.0 SR6 FIXCAT ZOS0201T/K The JDK has been updated to detect the platform fonts available from zOS 2.1 onwards, along with the default Lucida family fonts available under "SDK_HOME/lib/fonts" KEYWORDS: ZOS0202T/K
