I think this is a consequence of trying to position each glyph at the
closest point its projection
on to the theoretical baseline on a relatively low-res device. I suspect
it would look fine at
printer resolutions. Whilst rotating an image would help the baseline I
don't think you'd be
happy with the appearance of the glyphs.
Your best option for quality is likely to get the outline of the text
and use
Graphics2d.fill(Shape). You'll also want to set ANTIALIAS_ON (that's the
graphics
AA flag not the text one since here you are rendering a shape, not a
text primitive).
The most robust way to get the outline of the text is by calling
TextLayout.getOutline(..);

When rotated at some angles the position of characters relative to the baseline

and/or fractional metric hints enabled. I'm using jre6_u04.
I was wondering if it would be better to render the text (horizontally) into a
bitmap (possibly at higher resolution) and then rotate and draw the resulting
bitmap.
Performance is not a great concern as the result is cached.
Any suggestions?
