Dirk Moebius commented on PIVOT-393:
------------------------------------
I stumbled about the same issue when I noticed that Pivot's font rendering
differed from Swing's. The reason is that Pivot uses a FontRenderContext with
antiAlias always on instead of using the default system rendering hints. On my
desktop with a LCD with subpixel rendering this lead to uglier results.
The attached patch resolves this issue, but not the minor one regarding
KEY_TEXT_LCD_CONTRAST.

> Some components render text using the drawString() method of Graphics2D and
> properly set the text rendering hints using the getTextAntialiasingHint()
> method in the Platform class. However, other components use a glyph vector
> that does not currently respect the text rendering hints. These components
> should be updated to use a FontRenderContext containing the correct text
> rendering hints:
> http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/awt/font/FontRenderContext.html#FontRenderContext(java.awt.geom.AffineTransform,%20java.lang.Object,%20java.lang.Object)
> Also, there is a minor issue with the use of getTextAntialiasingHint(): the
> AWT "awt.font.desktophints" property may contain multiple hints (e.g. on my
> desktop it also defines KEY_TEXT_LCD_CONTRAST) and Pivot is only looking at
> KEY_TEXT_ANTIALIASING. Additional methods should be added to support the
> other values.
