Peter is right .. it does look like the antialias tool and as I know Robert is
trying out Jave theese days I'd even bet money on it.

I like the antialias'ed version slightly better .. but you need to do touchup
work by hand .. Jave is'nt perfect - A human could do much better (well some
humans :) )
Try and study how Jave draws the thick and thin curves (not the linedrawn ones..
they still need a lot of work) , they show how to do better antialiasing.
