[OpenJDK 2D-Dev] JVM Crash: printing character \u0DDD in Swing app

[Patrick Wright]

Hi Igor

Thanks for the reply. It will take a bit of time to track it down.
>From a quick test:

1) rendering just the single glyph to a buffered image, one image per
font, succeeds with Sun Java but fails with OpenJDK (will provide the
full details once I'm done testing)

2) testing using the Swing button + label fails with both Sun Java and
OpenJDK using the default font (e.g. Swing app with no font
specified).

I'm not sure how I can make Sun Java 6 fail in the buffered image
case. For the buffered image case with OpenJDK, I'll work on pulling
out a list of fonts that are failing. Hope this isn't any specific
combination of font style and size...

Will report back once I have the details.


Regards
Patrick
