JDK-8115611 - LCD Subpixel text doesn't work on transparent/shaped windows
Description
Look at the pic attached.

It is a start page of SceneBuilder Beta.

While main menu looks almost ok, this particular label is certainly ugly and discredits JavaFX applicability for good UI building.

LCD text one transparent surface has been added via fix for RT-18901 rt-closed changeset: 16068:f69548777515 Which solves this quality issue.

There appears to be a drop shadow applied to text and it appears to be rendered onto a transparent surface. So there are potentially two, or more, contributing factor to degraded quality: 1. Regarding transparent background. Currently we can't render high quality LCD text onto a transparent surface, when detected we switch to grayscale text. But with the resolution of RT-18901 should solve that problem. 2. Adding an effect can reduce rendering quality of text. BoxBlur for example will turn LCD text into grayscale. But that is not a bug, it does not make sense to blur sub pixel text. So I consider this bug one part duplicate of RT-18901 and part user error.
