Comment 15 for bug 255983

I just executed this command:

sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk=6b09-0ubuntu2 \
openjdk-6-jre=6b09-0ubuntu2 openjdk-6-jre-headless=6b09-0ubuntu2 \
openjdk-6-jre-lib=6b09-0ubuntu2

and then to put these packages on hold:

sudo echo "openjdk-6-jdk hold" | dpkg --set-selections
sudo echo "openjdk-6-jre hold" | dpkg --set-selections
sudo echo "openjdk-6-jre-lib hold" | dpkg --set-selections
sudo echo "openjdk-6-jre-headless hold" | dpkg --set-selections

But I also have sun-java6 installed because of the font package... it might make some difference, don't know. The main problem seems to be with font rendering.
