Something like this problem affects me too, but I'm not sure what causes
it.

The version of java I'm using is openjdk-6-jre, on a clean installation
of Ubuntu 10.04. (The problem did not occur with 8.04 or 9.04.) I
haven't installed any fonts.

The font looks like it is too big for the space available to it (e.g.,
descenders from 'g's are chopped off and one column of text runs into
the next).

Bug description:
- default font appearance settings at 96 dpi
- have ttf-dejavu* packages and java's internal lucida faces available to fc
- javaws http://files.gokgs.com/javaBin/cgoban.jnlp
- play on KGS
- enter unused nick
- login by hitting guest
- look at ugly (too high, ragged) bold fonts game offerings are displayed in (some internal bold lucida)
- look at e.g. overlapping letter 'g' in nicks displayed in nicklist (some dejavu variant)

- one can move affected ttfs out of fontconfig's path to see mentioned faces changing (after app restart)
- FC_DEBUG=1 javaws ... | grep family | sort | uniq should show them selected, too
- orderly shaped fonts were displayed with karmic's sun-java6
- the bad fonts can be seen in openjdk-jre (karmic or lucid), too

- maybe some forced dpi change in karmic->lucid transition?
- maybe some problem in java rasterization requests? (but both implementations fail in lucid, openjdk in karmic)
- maybe some bad font metrics?
- maybe errors in rasterization?
