unfortunately, this does not help. I had it enabled when writing to the 
list. When I am back at my Windows-machine (the Powerbook I am 
currently working with is unfortunaltely too slow for jEdit), I will do 
some further testing.

About jEdit on Mac OS X: I found (besides the inacceptable speed, but 
this is nothing you can fix) two issues:

 *) The font of the textarea is always anti-aliases regardless of the
    setting in the Preferences-Dialog. This is, I suppose an un-fixable
    JRE-Problem (the one built-in with OS X)

 *) The shortcut-keys are not recognized correctly: I am working with
    the swiss-german keyboard-Layout and Coammand-Z is recognized as
    Command-Y and the other way around. I suspect, jEdit gets the
    americain bindings reported.

Anyway: I really like jEdit. It's (under Windows with a machine 
powerful enough) the best text editor I came across so far and I will 
never switch to another tool again.
