Re: Disturbed character images when rendering text in default font

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).
