A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
In OpenJDK 12 and earlier, the text weight is increased smoothly with the font size in VALUE_FRACTIONALMETRICS_ON mode and any text antialiasing mode on. In OpenJDK 13 the weight is increased sharply with 'gray' antialiasing. At least the sharp difference can be seen between 17 and 18 pt. The same issue can be seen using affine transform scaling. So we cannot implement smoothly resized string on the screen.
The issue only comes with 'gray' text antialiasing (VALUE_TEXT_ANTIALIAS_ON). With HRGB subpixel antialising there is no issue. But if we apply rotation or shear transform the issue is visible in HRGB mode also.
There is no such issue in 11.0.5 and 12.0.2, so it is a regression.
BTW, shear transform works incorrectly with fractional metrics on, but it's not critical for us...
REGRESSION : Last worked in version 12
