[isabelle-dev] jdk-8u162

[Makarius]

As of Isabelle/59527ee2d6da we are on current jdk-8u162 from Oracle, see
also:

As usual it might affect fine points, especially on various platforms
and GUI themes.


Larry has reported font issues on macOS recently, but they might have
disappeared due to the update.

I have myself seen font-problems yesterday: both on 8u152 and 8u162. On
macOS High Sierra, the jEdit Console with IsabelleText has problems with
the font metrics: text is out of sync wrt. the cursor. I did not
investigate it further, and presently hope that the next update by
Oracle or Apple improves the situation again.
