A fix for JavaFX was just pushed :
~~JDK-8188810~~: Fonts are blurry on Ubuntu 16.04 and Debian 9
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8188810
which reduces the color fringing of text on Linux distros
which enable cleartype font rendering in their bundled
freetype libraries.
The same fix is needed in OpenJDK/Java 2D
