Hi Cameron, That property could be useful but how can it determine which type of monitor is connected to the "Desktop"? I think the optimal rendering hints for text depend on the monitor and especially whether it's CRT vs. LCD.
I think the only reliable option is, as has already been suggested, to provide the user with a text tuning screen which displays text rendered using the various hints and allows them to select the most legible one. -JCT > -----Original Message----- > From: Cameron McCormack [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, 7 August 2008 15:54 > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: Batik 1.7 text rendering issues > > Cameron McCormack: > > > [enabling subpixel antialiasing] > > Thomas DeWeese: > > I don't have anything against this (as it's a fairly simple thing > to > > enable through reflection) but do you know how to determine which of > the > > 4 LCD dot patterns to use? > > I’m not sure, but perhaps the awt.font.desktophints desktop property > can > provide this information: > > http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/awt/doc- > files/DesktopProperties.html > > -- > Cameron McCormack ≝ http://mcc.id.au/ > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: batik-users- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
