[OpenJDK 2D-Dev] [PATCH FOR REVIEW] Fixed linux.fontconfig.Fedora.properties

[Phil Race]

How did you verify this ? I ask because this file will be (or should be!)
completely ignored by JDK 7 and 8, since it does not have a name that
precisely references Fedora.16 - ie distro AND variant.

In general I am not sure there is even a point to maintaining this file 
since
we have code in JDK 7 that pulls the logical font definitions from 
/usr/lib/fontconfig
APIs at runtime and so we should match the native desktop without the 
maintenance
burden.

The only reason I can think of for having these files any more is if you 
consciously
want something very different than GTK/Qt/etc is using ..
