Building openjdk8 on windows 7, jre crap display

[Peter Koellner]

Well, it is even worse. I built a little test application actually opening a JFrame and displaying a JButton opening a JFileChooser, and the newly build jre throws exceptions on repaint:

Does this have something to do with the whole freetype thing? or is something missing after
make bootcycle-images /make install to actually produce a working jre? Some environmnet variable to be configured to provide a classpath further than JAVA_HOME or something like that? The FontManager is located in rt.jar... Do I need to sign the jars before they work or something like that?

reminder:
this is a 32bit jre build from stable jdk8_u102-b14 on win 7 with

             --with-target-bits=32 \
             --enable-unlimited-crypto \
             --with-cacerts-file=c:/openjdk/cacerts \
             --disable-debug-symbols \
             --disable-zip-debug-info \
             --disable-ccache \
             --with-jtreg=c:/openjdk/jtreg
