Description
The closed rasteriser (T2K) isn't parsing the OTF/CFF topdict syntax for
supporting CID fonts, ie where there are private dictionaries.
This manifested as a problem correctly rendering an OTF font on Mac OS X.
It turned out that the glyphs were rendered incorrectly because needed subroutines
for rendering a number of glyphs were not found since the private dictionaries
had not been read. 
In addition it appears that the function for reading BCD encoded values
(as per CFF Spec and looked at section 4 "Dict Data"'s
description of binary encoded decimal numbers) needs some work.

Also it was noted that some metrics heuristics looked at every glyph in the font.
Excessive for CJK fonts . .

These are all approved for deferral to JDK 9 so you can update the FixVersion to state JDK 9. Kind regards, Mathias

EVALUATION I am not sure how much is entailed in fixing this, but it at least includes reading the top dict properly, and all of the sub-dicts and then making sure that each glyph is properly set up to use the right local dict.
