I posted each text example in two sizes: one-on-one, just as you'd see it rendered, and enlarged by a factor of 8. I didn't attempt to explain the technique behind subpixel antialiasing, I just wanted to show Java supported this now.
By enlarging the texts you can clearly see the coloured "subpixels" surrounding the text. For real life rendering, I included some twelve full screenshots with text rendered using the various JDKs and settings.
I'm sorry that I couldn't convey my message better, but I hope it is clear now that I did not want to dissect subpixel rendering, just show that, and how, it is now supported by the Java runtime.
