The only text related difference between Oracle JDK and OpenJDK is the 
font rasteriser
used (t2k vs freetype) and that is not at all the same thing as text layout.

So are you are referring to the font rasteriser  ? One component of the 
whole wad-of-stuff.

If icedtea used something else for text layout that is a different 
matter but those
libraries are  what Oracle JDK + OpenJDK have always used for font 
rasterisation.

FWIW the bug here is in the way freetype is used ..
