[R] JGR font rendering on Windows

[Mike Prager]

JGR users on Windows may be interested that Sun has released a preview 
of its latest Java development kit and runtime engine at

This removes the main problem I have had with JGR and other Java 
programs on Windows: poor font rendering.  On Windows XP with an LCD 
display, the improvement is striking, as this uses Windows native font 
smoothing (CoolType).  I believe it uses the default Windows font 
smoothing on other versions of Windows or other displays.
