JDK-8127272 - LCD subpixel text doesn't work on Java 2D [fallback] pipeline due to alpha in surface format
Description
The computer where LCD font smothing does not work (gray scale smoothing instead)
has this Windows version: Version 5.1 (Build 2600.xpsp.080413-2111 : Service Pack 3)
The graphics board is type "Intel(R) GMA 3100", string "Intel(R) G33/G31 Express Chipset Family".
I just guess that this information has an impact on font smoothing. What exactly are the requirements?
Please not that LCD font smothing does work with AWT/Swing applications.

This is a duplicate of RT-18902, which we currently do not plan to fix. Note that your graphics card is below the minimum to run the HW-acelerated pipeline, so it falls back to the software pipeline.
