I can see very little difference between Swing using 1.1.x (and smoothing
enabled) and Swing using 1.2.x (no smoothing/a-a). I looked at this on win'98
If you are using non anti-aliased fonts they should appear pixel for pixel
identical on 1.1.x and 1.2.x, and although the platform's rendition of fonts
may be improved by "smoothing"/anti-aliasing, they look fine even without.
I don't know why yours appear so bad.
