JDK-8098116 - Support glyph rasterisation to sub-pixel precision
Description
While testing DnD using toys/DragDropText I noticed that the spacing between letters seems to make the text look bad compared to native rendering.

Dup of RT-14187

This is partially down to rounding we do to work around the Intel HD bug. I think there is a plan to look again at whether we can resolve this with higher precision restricted or otherwise limited to Intel HD. But we likely also need to generate the sub-pixel glyphs as discussed in RT-14187 and that should help too.

I think there may already be a bug covering this, but I can't find it. Assign to Phil to evaluate.
