JDK-8023794 - [macosx] LCD Rendering hints seems not working without FRACTIONALMETRICS=ON
Description
LCD Rendering hints do not work for font sizes larger than 100 points

After fix of JDK-8023794 issue greyscale antialiasing is still used for fonts > 100 points.

Test 
2D_Font/LcdAntialiasingTest could be used to check it.
Just change font size to 101 in the following line:
private static final int FONT_SIZE = 100;

Comments
A hint is just a hint remember. We do not produce glyphs at all such sizes because the storage requirements are too vast. So this is policy, not a bug.
