It sounds like you are just seeing an artifact of text anti-aliasing.
Some experiments...
Run System Preferences and click the Appearance pane. Near the
bottom, choose a Font smoothing style of "Standard - Best for CRT".
Also choose 12 from the popup in the "Turn off text smoothing"
control. Quit, then relaunch the Java app. Font smoothing style
affects all sizes. Turn off only affects smaller styles.
Use DigitalColor Meter.app (in /Applications/Utilities) to get
closeup views of exactly what the pixels are. The "Standard"
smoothing style performs only solid-color anti-aliasing. The others
do sub-pixel anti-aliasing, so vertical edges may have varying
shades of blue or red.
Change the renderer to either the Quartz renderer (if using Sun's)
or the Sun renderer (if using Quartz).
"Standard - Best for CRT" nor the other choices change anything.
Setting 12 on "Turn off text smoothing" makes every other OS X
application text to look awful, and it doesn't help this problem.
Changing renderer to Quartz, if I understand correctly what you mean,
does help a lot.
