swing.aatext? someone pinch me

843804Sep 8 2004 — edited Mar 2 2006
Saw a post or two on the net about 1.5 and a system prop called swing.aatext. Amazingly, setting to true appears to anti-alias all the font rendering in an entire swing app. Yet I can't find anything about it on java.sun.com? Did some Sun developer let this one slide in or something? Why no big announcement on something many of us have been waiting on for years?

Overall, on win32 the AA rendering looks decent- definately professional enough to use. I'm on a CRT right now but will check out an LCD when I get home...you know how those things can differ.
