[OpenJDK 2D-Dev] FontMetrics differ between OracleJDK 8 and OpenJDK 11

[Philip Race]

I am on vacation for (another) week but it is possible that what
you are describing is a bug whereby a transformation that is in effect
was not inverted before returning metrics to the application.
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8139178

This notably affected rotations but could be in play here too although
I haven't tested this. It was fixed very recently so you will need to try a
JDK 12 EA build here : https://jdk.java.net/12/
