Java applet: no anti-aliased font in browser (but in AppletViewer)

Question

In AppletViewer, my applet looks like this:

In the browser, my applet looks like this:

As you can see, the font is not smoothed. Also the background color is different. And the whole text is cut out on the right side.

What could it be?

You can also try it yourself here .

From here, I tried using this code:

System.setProperty("awt.useSystemAAFontSettings","on");
System.setProperty("swing.aatext", "true");

But this only leads to this exception:

java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.util.PropertyPermission awt.useSystemAAFontSettings write)

Answer 1

It should work by overriding a method paintsimilar to this for each component where you want to jinx:

static void activateAntiAliasing(Graphics g) {
    try {
        Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)g;

        // for antialiasing geometric shapes
        g2d.setRenderingHint( RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,
                              RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON );

        // for antialiasing text
        g2d.setRenderingHint( RenderingHints.KEY_TEXT_ANTIALIASING,
                              RenderingHints.VALUE_TEXT_ANTIALIAS_ON );

        // to go for quality over speed
        g2d.setRenderingHint( RenderingHints.KEY_RENDERING,
                              RenderingHints.VALUE_RENDER_QUALITY );
    }
    catch(ClassCastException ignored) {}
}

@Override public void paint(final Graphics g) {
    activateAntiAliasing(g);
    super.paint(g);
}
