[OpenJDK 2D-Dev] Fwd: JDK bug 8078516

[Sergey Bylokhov]

I suppose that this is why JDK-8078516 was filed, and it was closed as a 
duplicate, because another bug provided a way to use LCD rendering on 
OSX to opaque surface +  workaround in swing, fixed the bug of the 
submitter. Probably we should file another bug as a replacement of 8078516.
