JDK-8101095 - Enable LCD Text Support for Mac
Description
This might be a personal preference, but to me our grey text rendering looks much worse than native Mac rendering. I'm comparing here grey to grey rendering.
Comments
This is already covered by RT-14238 which will enable LCD text for Mac.

Would be nice if we could use some mathematical error analysis that describes how close the rendering is to the actual expected shape.
