Windows default font glyphs are rendered wrong on some systems

[Christopher Schnick]

So as a follow-up to this, this is a general JavaFX issue and not 
related to a certain application. You can find references to this on 
reddit: 
https://www.reddit.com/r/JavaFX/comments/1hhu0d5/bugs_with_scene_builder_v_2400/ 
and on GitHub with some verbose and debugfonts output: 
https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/issues/11755#issuecomment-2403606223 . 
It also seems related to this issue: 
https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8242617
