Public bug reported:

After installing openjdk-6-jdk on a default Ubuntu desktop installation,
the fonts in Java applications look nice and smoothly antialiased
(screenshot 1).

When I install the same package on a Ubuntu server (and have the window
rendered on the desktop system using ssh -X forwarding), the fonts look
ugly (screenshot 2).

I suspect some missing dependency of the jdk package that is normally
pulled in by ubuntu-desktop (which isn't installed on server
installations).
