Enable text antialiasing

It would be /really/ nice to have an option to enable swing's text antialiasing.

I couldn't find a System property that will work for that. Maybe I'm missing something?

BTW, I'm on Linux.

thanks,
tim

Swing components do not use antialiasing by default and there is no system property to enable text antialiasing. For a Swing component antialiasing is enabled only by overriding the method paintComponent and setting a rendering hint of the graphics context.

Sun will have JDK antialiasing support in 1.5.1. See http://developer.java.sun.com/developer ... 53840.html.

We implemented this. In the next release of <oXygen/> you can enable and disable it from Options -> Preferences -> Editor -> Aspect - Text antialiasing.
