Re: Java recommendations for IBM iACS 1.1.9.2

"The preferred runtime is IBM Semeru Runtimes
<https://developer.ibm.com/blogs/introducing-the-ibm-semeru-runtimes/>,
based on OpenJDK with the IBM OpenJ9 JVM. It can be downloaded from here:

from:

It doesn't specify which version to use, so I'd just use the top one.

subject: Java recommendations for IBM iACS 1.1.9.2

I have installed IBM iACS 1.1.9.2 on Windows 10.

What are the Java recommendations for this version?
Are there font issues on telnet 5250 if you change your java version?

The getting started guide section on prerequisites simply says java 8 or
higher and has some suggested distros of Java
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/ibm-i-access-acs-getting-started#3.0

The updates page at
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/ibm-i-access-acs-updates also lists some
suggested distros of Java but doesn't say what version to use.

At my PC command prompt:
