This should be closed as will not fix. FX assumes and requires unhinted
metrics
so cannot work with B&W text which will not display properly with hinting.
Most fonts will render really-really badly if not hinted when using B&W.
Then there are the fonts which don't even have hints and so will render
really-really badly anyway.

While porting a swing application to JavaFX 8, I had to patch JavaFX 8 to
disable font anti-aliasing on linux.
But, for readibility of text, I also had to reenable font hinting, in this
case only.
Since, I've found this open bug
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8092207.
I will be glad to publish this contribution if it fits in OpenJFX plans. But as
it requires some rework, let me know first if it has any interest.
