The Arch Wiki states that unlike other languages, binary java packages should not be named with "-bin". Also source is not practical to compile for Arch Linux, the process used by the author directly outputs the final .deb package, so my PKGBUILD just takes the relevant files from it.

This package should be named with the -bin suffix, as sources are available.

@derivator I did not encouter your problem, did you also try to follow https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Java_Runtime_Environment_fonts?
derivator commented on 2021-06-07 23:52 (UTC)
Text in the library explorer is unreadable for me.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Java#Illegible_fonts didn't help.
Any ideas?

Upstream keeps changing how this is distributed. It's getting harder and harder to make a minimal install that doesn't include its own JVM and I'm just not interested in fighting that any more.
If you want to use the latest GCS, I recommend just downloading the tar from the website and running it from your home directory.

New version release 4-15-2017. To get it edit the PKGBUILD to read:
pkgver=4.9.0

Just an FYI in case you're wondering why this package just changed so much: gcs used to have some annoying design decisions that made it difficult to conform to the Java packaging guidelines. So previously I fixed this with a patch, which is why the PKGBUILD had to recompile it every update. Thankfully my patch was accepted upstream, so now recompiling is unnecessary. This makes the build process much, much faster.
Also the package now registers gcs's data file types, so it should be possible to double click a .gcs file (or .spl, .adq, .gct, etc.) and have gcs open automatically.

Thanks for letting me know. In the future you can just flag out-of-date and that will better remind me to update the PKGBUILD.
