It was very deliberate that advances from the JDK's rasteriser was used
because many
applications were very sensitive to metrics. This was back in the T2K
days and it just
carried over to freetype. It worked out just fine with T2K but not so
much with freetype
I don't think I want to just take

One thing to add is that Swing on Windows will use LCD text in all cases I can
think of and that is rendered by Windows/GDI not free type.

glyph image itself.
So it would have to be some custom rendering in another mode
