Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8221305 Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~prr/8221305/
Now that we have resolvedJDK-8230672 : Specification for java.awt.FontMetrics.getMaxAdvance() is too prescriptive. with an approved CSR, the assertion being tested by java/awt/FontMetrics/MaxAdvanceIsMax.java is not enforceable.
The test should just be retired. -phil.
