One of the biggest tasks in the Caciocavallo project is the refactoring of the FontManager class. In the current OpenJDK code, this class is huge kitchen sink for all kinds of things that have no other place (or so it seems): it’s a final class with all static methods, with platform independent font code, utility functions, platform dependend code (windows and solaris mixed), fontconfig code, all nicely packaged in one big class. To make it even worse, there’s a bunch of similar font related methods in SunGraphicsEnvironment.
