Hi, I have been looking into this problem for quite some time without much luck in finding a solution. I am working on a Java SDK 1.3 application for Windows NT where it is necessary to mimic the quality of Photoshop in rendering graphics and TrueType fonts. I have created a BufferedImage object and drawn text onto its Graphics2D object using the drawString method. The problem that I am having is that the text drawn is not rendering the spaces between letters correctly for some font sizes. For example, Arial 12 point looks pretty bad. The spacing between an 'a' and 'n' is too much and also between an 'S' and 'u'. The spacing between a 'y' and 'm' is to small (none). When I use the same font in Photoshop it looks fine. I have tried setting many combinations of RenderingHints with no luck. Would any of this have to do with the fact that font hinting is not used by the Java 2D T2K rasterizer? Is it possible to force that the native rasterizer be used? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot!!
