I can confirm this bug using Ubuntu 8.10 and 'openjdk-6-jdk' (6b12-0ubuntu6), too.
It seems to affect all Java applications using Swing and the Metal Look&Feel.

Find another screenshot (showing FreeMind, NetBeans and jDownloader)
attached.

As captn pointed out, only OpenJDK seems to be affected. Rendering using
SunJDK seems to work okay.

Binary package hint: openjdk-6-jre

According to info from David Herron fontconfig.properties refers to nonexistent lucida fonts. It needs to be updated. Good example to show ugly fonts is to run NetBeans IDE with Metal L&F (which is default)
