Font Spacing Becomes Smaller after Upgrading from 1.8.0_352 to 1.8.0_372 and onwards

[a4356796]

Hello,

We face an issue that the spacing between fonts becomes less. It is obvious the spacing between 'I' and 'D' become bigger than its in picture 352.png.

My issue seems a reversed behavior of #148. I tried to set "FREETYPE_PROPERTIES=truetype:interpreter-version=40" or 38, the font spacing gets bigger (between 'I' and 'D'), but the spacing is still not wide as it when using Build 352. Meanwhile the spacing between '-' remains small. So that is not considered as a proper solution.

In addition, I did not get clues about the information of font rendering in the Corretto 8 changelog page (https://github.com/corretto/corretto-8/blob/8.462.08.1/CHANGELOG.md). Could someone help please?

Corretto: 1.8.0_352 -> 1.8.0_372 and onwards
OS: Suse Linux 15
FreeType: 2.10.4

Do you have the issue on Java 11, 17 or 21?
