So I really don't understand what you mean by "bad font rendering". Is
this happen only with Jedit ? Dis you check the font in the Glogal Options
?

By the way I am using Jedit 4.3.pre12 on Java 1.6.0.03 (check the About
of Jedit)....maybe a Java problem...

Ah - cracked it!

I went into Utilities/Global Options/Text Area and clicked Smooth Text - that
does the trick and I can live with the result. Thank you.

Incidentally, I tried changing from Sun Java-6 to IcedTea-7 and that didn't
make any difference but the inner anarchist decided to stick with IcedTea
anyway.
