Loading FontManager from sun.font.fontmanager property

[Philip Race]

I think it can be, although the problem with the other cases was that 
they were set by the launcher
and always appeared in the enumeration of system properties.

This case is not documented and isn't set .. but is an effective waste 
of code since any kind of
external replacement isn't possible with the module system encapsulation 
and disallowance of
illegal access.
