Enhancements for JavaFX 18

[Philip Race]

search from thousands to less than 10 :-)

https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8092298

Near as I can tell, that is an issue where we are comparing the FX use 
of DirectWrite with
unknown usage and configuration of some Windows bundled apps and maybe 
we aren't
even sure it is the same font ..  there was a lot of back and forth there.
