[fedora-java] Fonts hinting

Is there anything changed in the way OpenJDK handles fonts in the latest
fedora?

I update the system:

java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-43.1.8.2.fc13.x86_64

And now my nice antialiased fonts are gone. I do have freetype with the
patented hinting enabled (and the patent *is* expired), but it looks
like the setting is not picked up by OpenJDK.

I thought we used the system freetype.

Setting awt.useSystemAAFontSettings="lcd_hrgb" also doesn't change
anything, so I think something broke.

Cheers,
Mario
