Description
java.awt.Font.createFont() tracks whether the calling code has permission
to create temporary files on its own.
If it does not, then the API limits how much file space can be used.
Since JEP 486 is integrated, application code will always have this permission, so the code is obsolete and can be removed.

Much of the supporting code for this is in share/classes/sun/font/CreatedFontTracker.java The entire file can probably be deleted.
