> sun.font.FontUtilities.getCompositeFontUIResource(Font)

The first line of the javadoc comment in the source code says :
     * This method is provided for internal and exclusive use by Swing.

And previous refactoring has moved it so that it's no longer even
on the same class as when it was first created.

Generally speaking it is helpful to provide the reason, ie the use
case as to the how and why they use this API.
In some cases people asking for a new API have simply overlooked
an existing solution. I do not necessarily think that is the case here
but it it would be nice to have that additional information.

Hi Alexander,

in our application we make use of

sun.font.FontUtilities.fontSupportsDefaultEncoding(Font)
sun.font.FontUtilities.getCompositeFontUIResource(Font)

to obtain an instance of CompositeFont.

Best regards,

According to the JEP 200: The Modular JDK (see
http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/200)
we expect that the standard Java SE modules will not export any internal
packages.

It means that classes from internal packages (like sun.swing) will not be
accessible.

For example:
   sun.swing.FilePane
   sun.swing.SwingUtilities2
   sun.swing.sun.swing.plaf.synth.SynthIcon
and others.


Please, let us known if you are using the internal Swing API and it is not
possible to replace it by public API.

There are some known requests:

JDK-8132119 Provide public API for text related methods in SwingUtilities2
     https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8132119

   JDK-8132120 Provide public API for screen menu bar support on MacOS
     https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8132120

JDK-6274842 RFE: Provide a means for a custom look and feel to use desktop
font antialiasing settings.
     https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-6274842


If you don't know if you use these types (because you use 3rd party jars)
you can use the JDK 8 "jdeps" tool to find such dependencies :-

~/jdk1.8/bin/jdeps
Usage: jdeps <options> <classes...>
where <classes> can be a pathname to a .class file, a directory, a JAR
file, or a fully-qualified class name

Thanks,
Alexandr.
