JDK-8356803 - Test TextLayout/TestControls fails on windows & linux: line and paragraph separator show non-zero advance
Description
The java/awt/font/TextLayout/TestControls.html (or java/awt/font/TextLayout/TestControls.java) fails on macOS.

The test instructions say, “The following lines all render the controls.  All controls should not render (even as space) and report a zero advance.” The characters 0x9, 0xa and 0xd do not satisfy this condition: the width of each is 8 as the width of space (0x20).
