Java - subpixel AA text (at last!)
Hi all,
Some good news from the current JDK 1.6 builds (aka Mustang) is that sub-pixel anti-aliasing has been committed. So, nice looking fonts on many platforms 
So now, Java apps on w2k and earlier will look better than native widgets from a subp-AA perspective!
A good example of the difference can be seen on this blog

So they always say.
According to Java.net, there's a whole pile of cool features coming in Mustang.... little things like this that will make a huge impact. Lots of bugfixes in swing, stuff like that. And its supposed to load faster too.
Too bad its not open source.
