After some more experimenting, I can confirm this is a serious bug. After
updating all packages on the system, it just reappeared.

Here's how you can reproduce it.

1. Install CentOS 7.7 but without updating the system.

2. Activate EPEL.

3. Install 389-ds.

3. Setup 389 DS.

4. Launch 389 Admin console.

5. Login as "cn=Directory Manager"

6. Everything works perfectly.

7. Update the system : yum -y update

8. Launch 389 Admin console.

9. Last entry appears as "cn=DirectoryManager" and there is no way to
add a
space between "Directory" and "Manager".


I did what I could to investigate this bug. But at this point, I'm clueless.

Cheers,

Niki

Hi Niki,

Not familiar with 389-ds, but I'm curious if the admin console where the 
spaces are missing is a Java application.? If so, I encountered similar 
problems to an unrelated application I use (an older version of 
Moneydance) when there was an upgrade to OpenJDK.

If I use:
java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.222.b10-1.el7_7.x86_64.rpm (and devel, 
headless, etc.), the fonts render correctly.

Anything after that has words run together, so I'm doing "yum 
--exclude=java* upgrade" (I still haven't added an exclude for it).? 
There were promising looking bugzilla entries for it, but it still looks 
broken if I upgrade.

-Greg

Thanks for your response. I can confirm that this is indeed a Java problem.

I followed your suggestion and downgroaded java-1.8.0-openjdk to
version1.8.0.222.b10, and fonts rendered correctly.

Now I wonder what would be the sanest way to solve this. As it looks, it's
downgrading as described and then put this in /etc/yum.conf:

exclude=java-1.8.0-openjdk*

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Niki
