Description:
Without the font ttf-dejavu MediathekView shows some dialog boxes without text
but it is usable. I'm not sure Java would use some other fonts here as well but
maybe ttf-dejavu could be an optional dependency.

Additional info:
* package version: 13.8.0-2

Steps to reproduce:
Install MediathekView on a system without desktop environment or other Java
applications installed.
This task depends upon

@hcrab: Thanks for the report.

It seems to be a fallback font. In the codebase FontAwesome is mentioned which I guess is available via ttf-font-awesome.
Would you be able to try with that package installed (instead of ttf-dejavu) and report back?

@dvzrv: Thanks for the package!

I tried ttf-font-awesome but it didn't work.

@hcrab: Did you follow https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Java_Runtime_Environment_fonts to configure the fonts for your Java environment?

If so, what did work, what didn't work?

@dvzrv: I tried most of the stuff at the early beginning of investigating this issue and e.g. anti-aliasing worked as expected. I never change the font path because after installing ttf-dejavu the issue was gone and I assumed that the path is recognized by the JRE.
