Description
Issue:
1. I ran Font2DTest Demo on Windows Server 2012 R2
2. Select
  Font: MS Mincho
  Range: Basic Latin
  Method: drawString
  Size: 24
  Style: Italic
But the style does not change to italic.

It seems it's side-effect for:

Fix Request jdk8u release is affected by this bug, the same way jdk11u was. Patch is small and applies almost cleanly (just minor path changes to jdk11u patch).

We've decided to put the jdk11u backport on-hold until an issue with JDK-8218854 (shown in macOS and Solaris) is fixed.
