      In mustang we have now implemented support for text antialiasing modes
      such as LCD-optimised text.
      Swing has been updated to pick up desktop font smoothing settings and
      so can specify the appropriate text antialiasing mode on a Graphics.

      However this is internal to Swing and isn't exposed to applications.
      So an application writing a custom Swing component, a custom Look and
      Feel, or otherwise wants to draw text using the same desktop settings
      is unable to discover those settings.

      We need to provide a simple way for an application to obtain the
      necessary settings that can be directly applied.

      Also those desktop settings can change, so there needs to be a
      mechanism to listen for changes in the property.
