Patch looks good for comparison with the 11u version. My only real issue is with the doc updates. I thought at first we should update the other FreeType documentation here, but, after reading other comments, it seems better to follow up this work by trying to sync closer to later JDK versions first, then apply the changes from this changeset.  This patch should at least update `building.html` to match `building.md` though by regenerating the HTML.

I'll try bundled and system builds with this patch while you work on that.
