Poor font rendering on Windows platform

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Issue:
The font's on Vista when running this appear much different than the
previews (see attached)

Extra:
I noticed that you are referencing Helvetica bold in the source list demo,
however when I getAvailableFontFamilyNames from the graphics env, it's not
listed. Next, I installed all variants of Helvetica(attached) > reloaded >
no go.

I'm not sure what needs to happen here, but if the dependencies can be
included in the pkg, it would be awesome.

PS: Thanks so much for all the hard work on this, I love it!</note>

This is similar, but not the same, as issue 38 ( 
http://code.google.com/p/macwidgets/issues/detail?id=38 ).

To improve the rendering, set the following anti-aliasing flag on your app:

-Dswing.aatext=true

I think this address most of the problem. I'll use this issue to fix the badge  
vertical alignment.

I fixed the badge text centering problem. If you'd like to try it out, either 
get the latest changes from Subversion, 
or let me know and I'll email you a jar file.

The anti-aliasing flag helped -Thanks

The centering issue being fixed also made a noticeable improvement -Thanks again

Keep up the good work
