Seems to work with the little test program. Observed a weird behavior in the Monkey Tester https://github.com/andy-goryachev-oracle/MonkeyTest - open TextArea page - set font to System Regular - select text: "Writing Systems" - click on any English word, invoke IME (I use Japanese), observe candidate inserted correctly - click on non-English word, invoke IME, the candidate is still shows up correctly - click on an English word, invoke IME and the candidate shows garbage. It seems to me it might be using font from the previous invocation? This could be a different issue though.  ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jfx/pull/1447#issuecomment-2085670379
