visualvm (Java) fonts are out of whack. Huge, blocky text is used everywhere.

Binary package hint: visualvm

In Maverick, the visualvm fonts are *huge* and ugly. It's hard to actually use the app like this.

This did not occur in Lucid. I am using Sun JDK 6 from apt, and will include a screenshot comparing Eclipse (which works great) and visualvm running at the same time.

A visualvm developer got back to me about the issue,

Adding "--laf Metal" to the command line args in the jvisualvm script helped.
