Just one little note.

Because this is not necessarily just a rounding problem, but it's an
hinting problem, it would be possible to construct a case where this fix
is not enough either.

I'm not so deep into this code (this area in general) to know by
intuition if this is the case or not, or if there's an obvious
alternative, this is another reason I'm pushing a bit for a reply, I
would like to get some insight from the people who wrote this code in
the first place ;)

And yes, I want this fixed in OpenJDK as soon as possible, now that I
know the cause and a possible solution, editing in NetBeans is starting
to be so annoying, makes me feel really bad!!!

Thanks,
Mario
