AA text used to be very slow once upon a time but I think I sped it up mostly in 1.5 not 6 There could be other reasons why its 'faster' now. ie better detection that rendering involves readback from the surface (not specifically for text) which can be slow on AGP buses .. As for the best default to use, there is a public mechanism built into JDK6 to let you get the hints that correspond to the system default. Swing already uses this

Hi I'm looking at how we support AA for text in the Flying Saucer library. Before Java 6 (we support back to 1.4 for the library), we found AA to be pretty slow, hence we had it turned off by default. I just turned it back on and found performance, at least with JDK 6, to be great--now my question is which of the many possible values for RenderingHints.KEY_TEXT_ANTIALIASING we should use by default when our users ask for AA text to be enabled. We set the value before performing text operations (drawString()). I'll probably give them the option via our configuration file, but am wondering what we should use as a default recommended value--in our case, we don't know what systems the library will be used on. Any reasonable approaches you can recommend?
