Thank you very much. So this means I should avoid modeling text as Shape. I also find really helpful the comment on the quality for large text: I was quite buffled that the applet here: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/2d/advanced/transforming.html draws a quite nice piece of text, using Graphics2D.draw(Shape), that made me believe that I perhaps do something wrong. And indeed, the quality of the text deteriorates when scaled down.
So, thanks a lot for your response, it's nice to know better.
