Hello Phil,
Thanks for your reply.
On Windows XP I see that jlabel-*, jtextcomponent-*, pswing-*, and
phtmlview-* all render the same, in that they ignore the LCD-specific
rendering hints
I don't know what you are looking at but I am looking at
text-rendering-winxp.png
at the URL you referenced and JLabel does NOT ignore the LCD hints,
and this XP PNG doesn't have a Jtextcomponent that I can see.
(compare e.g. jlabel-lcd-hbgr and java2d-lcd-hbgr, which
look very different on my LCD monitor, since HBGR is not appropriate for
it).
I'm not sure what you meant . If you say they are different doesn't
that mean something is in fact listening to them?
But where is the "java2d-lcd-hbgr" sample ? Oh, is in the OS X one.
As I said I don't know about that. Mac doing whatever it wants I
suppose. If I had to guess they simply didn't hook up Swing to
properly honour the hints or you aren't setting the hint in a way
that OS X believe is applicable. So all a Mac oddity.
I'm just looking at XP. Show me only on Windows (or Linux)
where we do the right thing.

PText uses java.awt.TextLayout.draw to render text, see
PText.java, line 522
http://code.google.com/p/piccolo2d/source/browse/piccolo2d.java/trunk/core/src/main/java/org/piccolo2d/nodes/PText.java#522
Why this should look different than Graphics2D.drawString, as in
AbstractJava2DTextRenderingBenchmark, line 68

Michael,
I don't know anything about what the P* stuff is, and can't speak for OS X,
but the results all look correct in the screen shots for Sun/Oracle's
Swing / Java2D on Windows. So I'd say your problems are in the P* stuff.
Remember "gasp" may not be AA-ed - it AA's only for the sizes at which
the font 'gasp' table says to do so.

Hello,
We have an outstanding issue
Text rendering in PText and JLabel via PSwing appear not to respect
antialiasing rendering hints
http://code.google.com/p/piccolo2d/issues/detail?id=117
where code that goes down slightly different text rendering paths looks
competely different with regards to antialiasing. There is a runnable jar
attached to that issue that demonstrates the problem.
We're looking for some help analyzing where the issue lies, in our
library, in Swing text components, in Swing look& feel, or in the Java2D
renderer(s).
Thank you,
michael
