Back in the java 1 days I used to use it.  It was way better than Sun's 
release.  Now that Sun is really supporting Linux I don't bother.  I 
couldn't see any real difference with early 1.3 releases, and Sun's 
hotspot seems like a very good optimizer.

I doubt it.  The trick is to get good fonts installed and to get java to 
use them.  I haven't explored java fonts enough to know how to do it.
