Hi Rosie.

I am using Jedit for many years, on Fedora then Ubuntu 7.10, with no 
"headache" problem and the font is quite perfect. I am a PHP programmer 
and the rendering and colors are really good and I see no difference 
with other text editor.
So I really don't understand what you mean by "bad font rendering". Is 
this happen only with Jedit ? Dis you check the font in the Glogal Options ?

By the way I am using Jedit 4.3.pre12 on Java 1.6.0.03 (check the About 
of Jedit)....maybe a Java problem...
