JavaFX printing on OS X is horribly broken

[Scott Palmer]

Ah, thanks for the insight.  I was going to try building OpenJDK, but it requires an ancient version of XCode that I don’t feel like downloading for this one thing (another reason to convert the JDK build to use Gradle for everything), so I’ll likely just wait for b20+.  I just wanted to be able to provide feedback ASAP in case my case wasn’t addressed, as I know JavaFX issues become harder to get fixed for 8u60 after this week as the ZBB code freeze starts Monday.

Anyway, I’m glad it was just my mistake.

Cheers,

Scott
