This was a Java bug (see “Known Problems”), since fixed in JDK 1.5. It primarily occurred for small, size=-3, text and for SansSerif (= Arial = Helvetica) font. Workarounds for earlier JDK’s include: 1) use bigger font size, 2) use Serif font, or 3) if you need a sans serif font, try alternatives such as Lucida Sans.
