JDK-8234916 - [macos 10.15] Garbled text running with native-image
Description
To reproduce this do the following on macOS 10.15 Catalina:

1. Build the jdk with Xcode 11 and MacOSX SDK 10.15.

2. Run any Java program that draws text, for example, the attached Simple.java program:

$ java -version
java version "15-internal" 2020-09-15
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 15-internal+0-2020-05-07-1853296.kcr...)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 15-internal+0-2020-05-07-1853296.kcr..., mixed mode, sharing)

$ java Simple

Fix request (8u) 8 is also affected by this when built with xcode11+, libawt only change, applies cleanly after file path fix, tests : jdk:tier1, jdk:tier2 and some internal testing. The issue can be reproduced without the fix and can't be reproduced with it. I've built it also with old xcode 4.x to make sure the build is not broken. Even tho the upstream doesn't support xcode11+, some downstream vendors can build with newer xcodes. It would be good to have this fix and won't harm those using old Xcode.

Raising to P3 since it leads to a functional regression in FX printing. Also the warnings will be quite annoying for developers.

We faced something similar in JavaFX itself. See JDK-8234916.

As suspected, FX printing is garbled when running a JDK built with Xcode11. It's fine when running a JDK built with Xcode 10. See the attached screen shots.

I don't have access to a printer at the moment. I ran Font2D test, selected ".SF NS Mono" and it looks fine (not drawn as Times).

The message is logged because the macOS implementation initialises all fonts - inefficient but it does - even if they aren't used. These . * fonts are all about FX printing :- https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8089573 GetFilteredFonts() in AWTFont.m excludes most fonts beginning with "." from what we report as available, but these are used for the FX "System" font so need to be available. Quite possibly the way to see this causing breakage is to try a small FX printing app - one of the samples - that prints text using the system font. Since the glyph mappings for the San Fransciso and TImes fonts don't look the same I expect garbled printing. Also just try to run Font2DTest and select ".SF NS Regular" or however it displays and see if that is actually showing Times.
