BTW, you can set -J-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings to lcd if you want
subpixel antialiasing. -J-Dswing.aatext works only for Sun Java 5,
it's not used in Java 6.
Being Java developer I wouldn't suggest you to use OpenJDK still. Hope
it will be usable with Java7 release, but now better keep using Sun.

More than that, I modified fontconfig.SuSE.properties to use DejaVu
Condensed fonts, they're much better than shipped with JDK/JRE and
have better antialiasing abilities. If you need it - download here
http://heresylabs.googlecode.com/files/fontconfig.SuSE.properties and
place it to your jdk/jre/lib folder (or jre/lib if you don't have java
devel installed). If you have other distro than suse - just rename it
to fontconfig.properties. And check font path at the bottom of that
file. Hope it will make you enjoy NetBeans a bit more.
