Ah - cracked it!

I went into Utilities/Global Options/Text Area and clicked Smooth Text - that 
does the trick and I can live with the result.  Thank you.

Incidentally, I tried changing from Sun Java-6 to IcedTea-7 and that didn't 
make any difference but the inner anarchist decided to stick with IcedTea 
anyway.
