EVALUATION The fix is to merge static blocks and execute them both in the privileged context. No new tests are needed as this is covered by existing SQE tests (same as for 6904882).

EVALUATION FontUtilities apparently has 2 static blocks and only one of them is executed using doPrivileged. However, in fact both need privileges.
