[OpenJDK 2D-Dev] JVM Crash: printing character \u0DDD in Swing app

[Igor Nekrestyanov]

Hi,

thank you for your report!

to simplify testcase please do the following:
   1) render to the offscreen bufferedimage, so no swing will be involved
   2) iterate through list of font files, we need to find which font 
exactly causes the problem

In other words ideal testcase simply draws single character of 
particular font into the offscreen buffered image.
It might be not possible to get it as simple as this but it would be 
nice if you can try.

It is a bit weird it did not crash with 6u7 but this may happen if 
different physical fonts were used.
