First it looks to me like when text disappears the text that is present ends up rendered 'lighter' (compare your first one with text=xxx). I would be curious if the flow text renders correctly if you convert the font to an SVG font, and use that (then we don't use the platform text rendering). Also you asked about installing a different version of Java on a Mac, take a look in /Library/Java or /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions On my system it looks like I have variants of JDK 1.3, 1.4, and 1.5 installed (even though on this machine I don't think I installed any 'extra' versions - but I probably installed dev tools). So you may be able to simply change your JAVA_HOME or the Current link.
