Thanks for looking into this. I'm not sure that this is the case though. As
a crude workaround, I sub-classed Label and overrode paint(Graphics2d),
allowing me to manually add the RenderingHints. I tried both
VALUE_TEXT_ANTIALIAS_LCD_ON and VALUE_TEXT_ANTIALIAS_LCD_HRGB. Both returned
different results to the default (VALUE_TEXT_ANTIALIAS_LCD_HRGB seemed to be
the best).

Thanks, I'll give this a go - looks to be a far cleaner option than my
current workaround.
