Description
On Windows, EUDC fonts are not displayed since 8u60.
Comments
When a EUDC font is configured on Windows, sun.font.FontFamily.setFont() is called twice for each family with the "standard" composite fonts. On the second call, the EUDC font file has been added into the last slot. But with the new logic (added in JDK-8064833), closerWeight() returns false because the weight is the same (not closer). So the second call to setFont() that would normally result in adding the EUCD characters to each composite font ends up becoming a noop, thus breaking EUDC support.
