If you have IcedTea(6) as shipped by most GNU/Linux distros these days
then just add -Dsun.java2d.xrender=True to you java command to try it
out.

Please do! Of course showing the code won't guarantee anybody looks at
it, reviews it and/or supplies patches. But not showing the code
definitely guarantees nobody will. And of course it makes it a tad bit
harder to integrate in newer IcedTea versions :)
