Font.createFont + Anti-Aliasing

I have bundled a .ttf font inside a JAR archive which I load with a routine along this lines:

[snip]
is = IdeUiUtil.class.getResourceAsStream(fontName);
font = Font.createFont(Font.TRUETYPE_FONT, is);
font = font.deriveFont(style, size);
[snip]

UPDATE: The font is used in the title of a Title开发者_如何学GodBorder, and will eventually also be used in a couple of JLabels.

The problem is, that on a Window platform it looks all jaggy. On linux, it's nicely anti-aliased. What do I have to do so it's anti-aliased on windows as well?

If you are drawing with Graphics, you should use:

Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)getGraphics();
g2d.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_TEXT_ANTIALIASING, RenderingHints.VALUE_TEXT_ANTIALIAS_ON);

... but this is not specific to bundling a font : it applies to all fonts used with the Graphics object.

There is a hack to apply this to a panel, but I'm not sure it's up to date.
