antialiasing currently defaults to OFF (since this is what Sun does),
IIRC, they changed that in JDK6 to default to ON. Either way, I don't
see a reason to stricly follow this behaviour here.
Awesome. I've been testing against 1.5, but defaulting this on is
great. Sun's
non-AA drawing is pretty ugly (much worse than cairo non-AA!).
but I'd like to consider defaulting to ON in classpath. Cairo's
anti-aliasing does cost us very much performance, but is visibly better.
Does it? Didn't you say the performance gain by turning off AA was
marginal? Or was that a typo?
Yes, that was a (bad) typo. Should be "cairo's anti-aliasing does NOT cost us
very much performance". In fact, basic AA drawing is significantly faster on
cairo than Sun, though Sun may have improved their AA in JDK6 if they make it
the default.
