I think that what was mentioned at the BOF was that often A-A text would look too "light" and in 1.5 we set a different flag in the rasteriser (at JDK build time) that applies a different grid-fitting strategy which helped alleviate that problem somewhat.
Is this change to the general Java2D rasteriser or to some font-specific rasteriser? I find that when I fill GeneralPath splines that cover small areas the color looks too light for my taste. For example, if I draw a spline path filled with solid black with size roughly equivalent to a font glyph at 12 points, it comes out light gray. While I can believe some lightening is necessary to blend the A-A edges with the solid portion, I would prefer dark gray, or darker. If these are different rasterisers, how can one obtain darker colors under A-A?
