    Description

      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      When some text is drawn in swing, we observe that the all characters slightly shift upwards, as compared to Java 8.
      Eg: "Arial" font has this behavior but "MS Gothic" does not.

      REGRESSION : Last worked in version 8

      STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
      Write some text in any swing component in Java 8 and Java 11, full screen both windows and compare the position where the text is drawn.
      Please run the attached sample program in Java 8 and Java 11 and full screen both the windows to compare.

      EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
      EXPECTED -
      Text should be drawn in same position in Java 11 and in Java 8
      ACTUAL -
      Text in Java 11 slightly shifts upwards as compared to Java 8
