If you are looking for something that will be used by Sun's implementation of
Graphics.drawString, then since there's no way to hook in to that, there
won't be such a solution.
So I guess you are looking for something that's going to amount to another
implementation of Graphics2D and which happens to have text rendering properties
that coincide with the subjective notion of when text looks "high quality".
Sounds to me like a tall order.

But, when I look closely, the way Windows renders text grates on me like

I would really appreciate any input on this.
