A trivial test program shows that rendered text quality in 64-bit
Java on Solaris is poor, in particular for large sized fonts.

Good (32bit) and bad (64bit) gif images are attached.

"java JHello" looks great.
"java -d64 JHello" looks poor.

There are Motif warning messages complaining about inability to load a
font into a fontset (see bug 4415785), but it seems unlikely to me that
this affects this image quality problem.
