Use Fractional Metrics with native fonts

The ability to use native Java fonts with the Java2D renderer is quite cool, but if you're doing lots of zooming in and out, you'll notice the resizing gets pretty jerky. That's because "fractional metrics" are disabled by default.

more on fractional metrics, from the Java2D FAQ:
http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/2D/reference/faqs/index.html#Q_What_are_fractional_metrics_Wh

Example showing them off and then on:
http://pantheon.yale.edu/~gej5/SoC/fractional-metrics/

It's simple to turn on, and has virtually no performance downsides (see the FAQ)

Hey, could you fix the link to your example? Anyone else have a working demonstration?
