In general those "colour" anti-aliasings are one of the choices you get 
in the Gnome 3 Tweak Tool, of course,

but this tool won't have an effect in jEdit I think. This tool also 
allows you to select "grayscale" anti-aliasing.

But all of that is irrelevant here, I guess...

There is *some* anti-aliasing on the jEdit fonts but very little. They 
are still quite jaggety as if none took place.

All I can try is to redo those command line parameters to Java that I 
saved in that older screenshot ;-).

java -Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on -Dswing.aatext=true

and then the rest of the command.
