Question

Why does Java Swing html font rendering look so crappy ?

Answer 1

A:

I wonder if you might have to specify the style separately like

"<html><style type = 'text/css'> span {font-family: Tahoma;} ...... <span>...."

instead of adding it directly to the span tag.

Answer 2

A:

Try to run your program with -Dswing.aatext=true flag, it will force it to use anti-aliasing.

If you need complex styling, you can use a JTextPane. Make it transparent, not editable, remove the border and it will look just like a label. You can apply different styles, it will be rendered with anti-aliasing and you won't have to deal with html, its support is not that good.
