Re: How to turn off Antialiasing in 1.6?

I have a need to turn anti-aliasing _off_ for certain jlabels.
My 1.4 code no longer works in 1.6 (setting rendering hints).

I googled around and found various ways to turn antialiasing on, but I have the opposite problem and reversing the examples I have found doesn't seem to work.

Does anyone have any example code that will let me turn anti-aliasing off on a jlabel (without drawing the text myself)?

*from the soon to be posted updated 2D FAQ :

Q. How can I specify the text antialiasing/font smoothing settings to be used by Swing in applications on Java SE 6?

A. This is generally is a question from users of KDE or Windows 2000 who would like to use LCD subpixel text. There's no programmatic way to do it in Java SE 6 (However if you know what you want you can set a system property :

java -Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=lcd which request to use LCD subpixel text in the most common subpixel configuration There are a few more useful values for this property as follows :
o "false" corresponds to disabling font smoothing on the desktop.
o ""on" corresponds to Gnome Best shapes/Best contrast (no equivalent Windows desktop setting)
o ""gasp" corresponds to Windows "Standard" font smoothing (no equivalent Gnome desktop setting)
o ""lcd" corresponds to Gnome's "subpixel smoothing" and Windows "ClearType"
