The editor font rendering looks different when compared 6.5 with 6.1. Letters like W,w and M are rendered noticeable worse where the small w in italic is rendered slightly better. Maybe this could be tweaked until release. I only tested on Windows XP with Java SE 6u10b28.
Created attachment 66037 [details] compare letters like M and W
Created attachment 66038 [details] compare "new" and the w in italics of ".newInstance"
