    You get ClearType by default if you stick to using Label(). It is a major
    hack but see this page for how to do it. If you click the Run Demo button
    the bottom paragraph was created entire with Label(). The source is
    available on the web page - again, a major hack!

    Let me reinterate what theStepan said. Go to the Sun page and put in your
    vote so we do not need to do these kinds of hacks just to get decent text
    rendering.
