strangely inverted text in JEditorPane

Hello everybody,

we've encountered a very strange phenomenon with our Swing-based
application:

A HTML-page inside a JEditorPane is being displayed in a "reversed"
fashion,
as if seen from the backside of a transparent surface.
It cannot just be a problem with the Component Orientation, since the
individual (Latin) characters are also shown the wrong way...

This happens on certain Windows 98 installations which we cannot
administer ourselves. Thus, it may be a side effect of some
third-party software that's installed there.

Any ideas greatly appreciated!

Try tweak graphics settings from desktop property. It should be called
the most weird Java phenomenon in year 2004! Look for similar report
on the BugParade.
