Blurred Java Webstart fonts

[whitehexagon]

If I run my application standalone, all the Swing fonts are nice and crisp. When I package it up and run it as a Webstart, the font's are more blurred and not easy to read. Any seen similar bahavior or any ideas what might cause this? Seems fine when I test the webstart on Windows.

Leopard, Java 1.5

what L&F are you using? Can you post screenshots?

It's Metal L&F but using some customization.

These are swing button's, with custom colors and fonts.

Just as an update for anyone else facing this problem.

I found a couple of jvm flags that have improved things slightly:

<property name="apple.awt.textantialiasing" value="off" />
<property name="apple.awt.antialiasing" value="off" />

this flag also seems to have an impact:

<property name="apple.awt.graphics.UseQuartz" value="false" />

Although I'm still not able to get consistant looking fonts between webstart and standalone on Leopard. But at least the small fonts are now more readable.

Oh and I also tried packaging the fonts inside the application in case that was the problem, but it wasn't.
