Native font rendering in JFX8 b96?

[Phil Race]

I think so .. the change should have been integrated in the FX master 
just in
time for the FX weekly promoted build which in turn gets bundled in
the JDK 8 b96 build. But I don't keep up with the exact details
of the FX / JDK / build & promotions, and FX JIRA is deficient in
that there is no "integrated in build" information.
