It seems intuitive and natural to expect that for any Shape s, the fragment:

  g2.fill(s);

should be equivalent to:

   g2.setClip(s);
   g2.fillRectangle(...); // a rectangle larger than clipping shape.

this almost works, but the latter version is not properly anti-aliased.

The following is a demo program that will reproduce the problem. Run the
program with no arguments to see the smooth (anti-aliased) image, and with the
argument "-bug" to see the jagged image produced by setting the user clip.

import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.geom.*;
import java.awt.font.*;

/**
 * Minimal test program to demonstrate a bug in the interaction of
 * anti-aliasing and clipping in Java2D.
 */
public class FillShape extends JFrame {

    /** If true then demonstrate the bug, otherwise do smooth rendering
     */
    private boolean bugFlag = false;

    private ShapePanel panel = new ShapePanel();

    public FillShape(boolean bugFlag) {
super("Shape Test");

this.bugFlag = bugFlag;

setBounds(200,200,500,500);

setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);

Container cp=getContentPane();

cp.add(panel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
    }

    public class ShapePanel extends JPanel {
public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
// render background:
super.paintComponent(g);

Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;

// request anti-aliasing and high quality rendering:
g2.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,
RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);

g2.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_RENDERING,
RenderingHints.VALUE_RENDER_QUALITY);

g2.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_FRACTIONALMETRICS,
RenderingHints.VALUE_FRACTIONALMETRICS_ON);

Font f = new Font("SansSerif",
Font.BOLD | Font.ITALIC,
64);

GlyphVector gv = f.createGlyphVector(g2.getFontRenderContext(),
"Hello!");
Shape s = gv.getOutline();

AffineTransform tf = AffineTransform.getTranslateInstance(200,200);
s = tf.createTransformedShape(s);

g2.setPaint(Color.black);

if (bugFlag) {
// demonstrate the bug:
// setting the user clip to s here should have no effect
// on the result image, since the shape to be filled lies
// entirely within the user clip by virtue of being the
// SAME shape.
g2.setClip(s);
}
g2.fill(s);
}
    }

    public static void main(String args[]) {
boolean bug = (args.length > 0) && (args[0].equals("-bug"));

FillShape fs = new FillShape(bug);

fs.setVisible(true);
    }
}
