Andrew, How did you choose 165 as the OS X default value ? Was it through experimentation or was there some documentation? On other platforms we read the value from system settings. Can we find this information on OS X ?

Hello, could you please review a fix for 8098853? bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8098853 webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~bae/8098853/9/webrev.00/ By default, we use 140 as lcd contrast value. However, on macosx this value causes significant discrepancy with results of native text rendering. Although perfect match is not achievable at the moment, the lcd contrast 165 provides a bit better approximation of the native text. Let's consider to introduce a mean to adjust the lcd contrast in swing applications. We have a set of font rendering hints (desktop font hints), so let's populate this set with the TEXT_LCD_CONTRAST hint. 165 is default value for macosx, and it can be adjusted using property "sun.toolkit.fontSmoothingContrast". Please take a look. Thanks, Andrew
