The original complaint is missing devanagari in logical fonts in
Oracle JDK 11.
I realised in looking at this that we are also missing Thai.
The reason is that Lucida Sans was removed and there are no windows fonts
configured to replace these.
In fixing this we can also add support for other Indic scripts and
Khmer + Mongolian too
as Windows 7 and later all contain suitable UI fonts.
One wrinkle is that we will be more likely to trip over a small bug
whereby
if we have registered one font in a family due to it being mentioned
in a logical
font and that font can be used to synthesis another style of that
font, we don't
go to check to see if there is a system font of the exact style.
FontFamily.getFont(String name, int style) has a comment warning of
this possibility.
This was observed that Mangal hid Mangal Bold for example, and
inconsistently if
you used the Mangal Bold font directly it was not hidden and would be
used.
So the fix adds a call to an existing method which will resolve all
fonts in that family first.
A test is provided which verifies the scripts are now supported by the
logical fonts on Windows.
