A screenshot from my computer is attached.
Note the quite visible degradation in appearance of the JEditorPane (3rd row) once it is set to use HTML content, as opposed to plain text (2nd row): it switches to a non-anti-aliased serif font with badly broken metrics, giving it the "ransom note" appearance, and is also too large.
The JLabel using HTML (6th row) looks normal. The JLabel just using the JRE's standard serif font (5th row) is ugly - the font is not very good, and the anti-aliasing does not seem to be working - but at least the lowercase letters obey a consistent midline, and the size is right.
