Failure Symptom:
  Large-sized characters (size > 36) are not rendered correctly. The chars are "rewind" - a char starts higher and the upper part of the char is below. It happens in all GUI elements - AWT & Swing (TextField, MenuItem, JLabel, ...)
  Antialiased strings are rendered fine.


Reproduce Step(s):  
  - compile the attached file CharView.java (part of standard I18n testcase)
  - run it
  - set size > 36

Reproducible in previous build(s)?
  - b39, locale C: yes

Reproducible in previous releases(s)?  If yes, which previous release(s)?
  - last beta1 build b32c (j2sdk-1_5_0-beta-bin-b32c-linux-amd64-23_jan_2004.bin) can't run on AMD64 (jvm crash)
