I'm confused, I'm on XP and had the OS ClearType off which means since it
works then I'm still not sure why it doesn't work for you unless you mean
you are on Win2k and that is where the Swing code is failing? If that's
happeneing then I have no clue why it would fail since it's not using the OS
to do the AA anyway?

Someone who has worked with Swing on Win2K and XP would have to comment like
a Sun developer? Maybe file a bug against Swing and let Sun sort it out. :-)
