Please find a screenshot attached. You'll notice that the 'S' and 'e's
are pixelated.
I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 with the Sun JRE (1.6.0_22).
I think your text is actually antialiased already, but I found that you
can override what kind of hint is used by adding this code somewhere in
your app before the rendering takes part, for example in the
Application#startup() method:
Field aaHintValueField =
FontRenderContext.class.getDeclaredField("aaHintValue");
aaHintValueField.setAccessible(true);
aaHintValueField.set(Platform.getFontRenderContext(),
RenderingHints.VALUE_TEXT_ANTIALIAS_GASP);
VALUE_TEXT_ANTIALIAS_GASP will often turn off antialiasing at some
sizes, but you can play with different values. See
http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/awt/RenderingHints.html for
more info.
