getting quartz fonts & Java 6 sound effects

I might be getting a little picky, but has anyone reported that fonts and sounds are inferior to Java 6?  Using JWS, I specify apple.awt.graphics.UseQuartz=true for 1.6.  I am using the default font:

       com.apple.laf.AquaFonts$DerivedUIResourceFont[family=Lucida Grande,name=Lucida Grande,style=plain,size=13]

I guess I could pull out the UseQuartz and make them look the same, but thought I should at least send this note.

Sound wise,  I put in some sound effects to correspond to some events.  The Java 6 versions are just so much better, especially for the SYNTH_STRINGS_2 instrument, index 51.

This is not going to stop implementation, but I was just wondering.
