[OpenJDK 2D-Dev] RFR: 8170552: [macosx] Wrong rendering of diacritics on macOS

[Phil Race]

Looks good to me.
It used to be a pain keeping several places in sync, hence the single 
util function.
I guess that pre-dated the Apple code and we didn't realise it had its 
own copy ..
So much code ... so little time ...
