This test is specifically about testing the spacing of text in Swing printing.
I think this SwingUtilities call isn't just "the way he happens to be printing text",
This call is the very thing under test ! And note that it takes a Component parameter
which affects how that call renders the text. It is used to figure out the FRC to use.
So changing this to use Graphics would be a problem.
