> Also, ideally pg 1,2,3,5 are also not needed as they are same before fix and after fix and since we have to use physical printer to print and compare, 8 pages are wasted per testing iteration, when just comparing 2 pages pg 4,6 are enough for this "regression test" to prove this fix

@prsadhuk I would like to backport this patch to jdk8. OpenJDK guide says it may do somebody with access in JBS. May you help me ? Recommend me please who may I address to If you can't?
