Should I report this bug to Icedtea or directly to OpenJDK

Hi Robert,

as far as I know, IcedTea does not, and has never, provided a different
font and text layout implementation compared to OpenJDK. However,
OpenJDK uses a different implementation than Oracle JDK (not sure if
it's still the case in JDK9 and 10, but I'm pretty sure it was the case
with JDK8).

The best bugs database to report bugs to is https://bugs.openjdk.java.net

Best regards,

Roman
