JDK-4352983 - Clipping of text when printing
Description
The fix to [4352983: Clipping of text when printing] is causing an IllegalArgumentException when printing components with zero-length text. The root cause is that the TextLayout constructor does not support zero-length Strings.

This causes a failure when trying to print a JTable that contains any empty table cells. It also causes the SwingSet2 JTable printing demo to fail. The cells containing ImageIcons have no text and trigger this problem.

Attached is a test case that demonstrates the problem. It simply attempts to print a JLabel containing the empty String.

Fixing this is VERY IMPORTANT for the new JTable printing support.
