Antialiased font rendering in Swing?

843804Dec 5 2004 — edited Dec 6 2004
Does everyone in the Swing team at Sun use CRT monitors? :)

The fonts in Swing look horrible on high-resolution LCD displays. They're small, rough, and difficult on the eyes. I found some 2-year old posts on this forum that mentioned improvmenets in J2SE 5.0. Does anyone have any additonal information on this? Ideally, I'd like to set a global setting on my system to force all Spring applications to use antialiased fonts.
