1.Text looks blurred with different ANTIALIASING.Ref: TextBlurring.png
2.Text attributes like UNDERLINE and STRIKETHROUGH are showing as thick lines instead of thin line. Ref: AttributedText.png
3. Text inside the table cell are blurred.Ref:java2d_table.png

Comments
EVALUATION Antialiasing has been set in the machine which i tested,so that font looks blur.I restored to driver default setting and launched the SwingSet2 demo.Now I didn't find any font blur.

EVALUATION The PlatformInfo has taken from the machine which i tested and its not from different machine.I Agreed it shows DirectX version 6 but i can able to enable the pipeline. Based on your request I have run the SwingSet demo and can see the font blurring clearly.Please find the attached image(swingset2.jpg).

EVALUATION The screenshots seem to suggest that full-screen AA setting had been enabled in the driver's control panel. What's more puzzling though is that the output of PlatformInfo shows DirectX version 6 (!). So there's no way the pipeline could have been enabled - unless the platforminfo output is from different system/machine. Please set J2D_TRACE_LEVEL=4 and run SwingSet2 and attach the output. Also, the pipeline is disabled by default on Win2003 - one would have to enable it with -Dsun.java2d.d3d=true .
