[OpenJDK 2D-Dev] RFR: 8064833 : [macosx] Native font lookup uses family+style, not full name/postscript name

[Andrew Brygin]

Hello Phil,

  could you please clarify why do we need to register italic variant twice:
  CFontManager.java:

  280                registerGenericFont(plain.createItalicVariant(), true);
  281                CFont f = plain.createItalicVariant();
  282                registerGenericFont(f, true);

the same thing is done for bold font on lines 285 - 287.

Thanks,
Andrew
