There have been a few posts on this the last couple days. Chet Haase has a good summary of all the changes that have gone into Mustang recently in regards to the feature.

Phil's Font Fixes
The bits are in: we've just integrated LCD Text support in J2SE! You can download the latest Mustang build and check it out (we integrated this feature into build 39, which should be live now)... One of the most frequently requested features has been for the JDK to support subpixel text which optimises for LCD displays using the subpixel striping to increase the text resolution. Because of the way its applied and configured by users its considered a form of text antialiasing ... In a nutshell what this means is that whether you use Metal, Windows or GTK Look and Feel, you will get the same antialiasing behaviour for fonts in Java applications as in native applications. You don't have to do anything. It just works out of the box.
