EVALUATION looks like another permission fallout from the refactoring. This line in the new FontUtilities class static initialiser used to be in a privileged context : isOpenJDK = !lucidaFile.exists(); Actually this about the only line of any consequence in that static initialiser that isn't in a doPrivilged. There are already 4 of them, this would be a 5th Given there's overhead to these I recommend just making it a single block for that class's initialiser.

EVALUATION It is highly suspected that #6795908 is the root cause of this regression
