[jsword-devel] -Dswing.aatext=true improves font rendering in JDK 1.5

[Willie Thean]

DM --

Ahhhh...thanks for pointing that out...didn't know
that option was 
available. I like having only the textpane
anti-aliased and leaving the 
button texts as is.

Maybe when BibleDesktop is first invoked, we can
present 2 text panes, 
one anti-alias and one default, and ask the user to
choose one and set 
option accordingly. This would overcome the first
impression that 
BibleDesktop does not render font as well as other
software. This was 
actually my first impression.
