As the link above shows, in JDK 10, it's being removed from JavaFX, 
eliminating one aspect of the differences between Oracle JDK and OpenJDK 
going forward.

As https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8093768 shows, freetype has 
already been the default in Oracle JDK builds for embedded and desktop 
Linux & OS X for a couple of years.
