The Java 2D font code is currently MT-safe using a single JRE wide lock.
This has made restricted scaleability and performance in server environments.

Work related will also happen at the low-level rendering layer to improve
graphics performance of text.
A small number of new methods may be added to provide more optimal ways
of doing text analysis and rendering to improve performance.

======================================================================

The 1.5 code is primarily in Java and scales much better whilst performing
better also.
