Jdk8u: libfontmanager.so: symbol FT_Library_SetLcdFilter: Error

[Alvarez, David]

Hi,

I've seen this issue in the past, basically it means the version of
Freetype in the system is older than the one used to build the JDK (old
enough that it doesn't contain FT_Library_SetLcdFilter). According to
the documentation, this was added in Freetype 2.3.0 [1]. This wasn't an
issue until the dependency of OpenJDK8 on this function was added by
JDK-8212071 [2]. But that was added on 8u242, so when you say prior to
01/2021, we are talking about at least one year.

In order to solve this issue, you have three options:
- Update your system Freetype to 2.3.0 or higher
- Build a 2.3.0 or higher version in your system and play with
LD_LIBRARY_PATH
- Use a JDK that has freetype statically linked, but I'm not aware of
any public distribution that does it.

Regards,

David
