In this specific scenario (page 8 of `PrintTextTest`), all special case checks fail, and we fall through all the way to the final handling block, which draws the individual characters one by one. It looks like the problem is that the font transform translation is applied twice, once via the glyph positions, and again by `drawString(...)` via the font. The proposed fix is to provide `drawString(...)` a font without any translation transform.

@prrace Might you have time to review this PR in the next week or two, now that the SecurityManager exorcism is complete? The code being changed is related to a few bug fixes that you implemented over the past few years, so I'm not sure if anybody else really has as much context on this one as you do. Thanks!
