[7u12] Request for approval for CR 8000423: Diacritic is not applyed to a base letter on Linux

[Alexander Scherbatiy]

Hello,

This is a request to backport a JDK 8 fix into JDK 7u12:

8000423 Diacritic is not applyed to a base letter on Linux
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=8000423

The fix has already been pushed to JDK 8, as:
hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/awt/jdk/rev/0e91d6f3019c

The code changes for JDK 7u12 are identical to the ones in JDK 8.

Thank you,
  Alexandr.
