It's much less subtle than that (see attachment: without on the left,
with on the right). Interestingly, I checked my anti-aliasing settings
in KDE, which were set to "Vendor Default". When I changed anti-aliasing
to "Enabled", hinting style "Medium", then *removed* the -J-D, I got
nice-looking fonts in NetBeans. Seems counter-intuitive, but hey.
When I zoom in, I see no anti-aliasing on the left and grayscale
anti-aliasing on the right in the screenshots (linked in your later
message).
I suspect the counter-intuitive result is just normal subpixel rendering
provided by the fix in JDK 12 and 13. For even better fonts, in my
opinion, turn down the hinting one more level to Light (sometimes called
Slight):
