The fonts of my pulldown menus are nicely antialiased when I am in metal L&F.
As soon as I switch to JGoodiesPlastic3D/XP,
I lose antialiasing on menus.
Switch to Lipstik L&Fs, I also lose antialiasing on the swing tree/listview fonts.
kunstoff, NimROD, and metouia, in contrast, leave my antialiasing settings as is.
