Description
FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
openjdk version  " 1.8.0-internal " 
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0-internal-strunk_2013_04_24_12_17-b00)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.0-b28, mixed mode)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Mac OSX 10.8.2
Darwin Kernel Version 12.2.1: Thu Oct 18 16:32:48 PDT 2012; root:xnu-2050.20.9~2/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64

EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
Retina display 15'' Mac Book Pro

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
In a JTextfield with non-default font size the cursor position is not always at character boundaries (visually). This may be related to bug 9002202 as it appears to be a wrong font width calculation that causes the behavior in both cases.  Note that probably the preferred size calculation of the text fields is also wrong because of that. I would expect for the test code to resize the textfields so all text can be displayed.

Does not happen on Apple's JDK6 and does not happen on non-retina displays.

REGRESSION.  Last worked in version 6u45

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Execute attached sample application with the window displayed on a retina display and position the cursor at the end of each JTextfield. It is drawn over the 8 instead of right of it.


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Cursor should always be positioned and drawn at character boundaries not over characters.

ACTUAL -
see above

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
