Greg Brown commented on PIVOT-393:
----------------------------------
Quite right. This was happening because the checkbox and radio button text is
drawn using a Label, which uses a GlyphVector internally. The glyph vector is
created using the correct AA hints, but then when rendered it was being
anti-aliased again by the checkbox and radio button skin classes.
This is fixed for Checkbox and RadioButton, but the same problem may exist
elsewhere in the code. If you see other occurrences, I would appreciated it if
you would add them here.

> Some components render text using the drawString() method of Graphics2D and
> properly set the text rendering hints using the getTextAntialiasingHint()
> method in the Platform class. However, other components use a glyph vector
> that does not currently respect the text rendering hints. These components
> should be updated to use a FontRenderContext containing the correct text
> rendering hints:
> http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/awt/font/FontRenderContext.html#FontRenderContext(java.awt.geom.AffineTransform,%20java.lang.Object,%20java.lang.Object)
> Also, there is a minor issue with the use of getTextAntialiasingHint(): the
> AWT "awt.font.desktophints" property may contain multiple hints (e.g. on my
> desktop it also defines KEY_TEXT_LCD_CONTRAST) and Pivot is only looking at
> KEY_TEXT_ANTIALIASING. Additional methods should be added to support the
> other values.
