"draw" is using TrueType hinted outlines to obtain glyph images that are scaled
and
scan-converted by the font rasteriser.
"fill" obtains an unhinted outline of the glyph and isn't aware its text, so
isn't tuned for text, particularly at small sizes.
It doesn't help that you have not enabled anti-aliasing.

(Or http://img84.imageshack.us/my.php?image=testfontyy8.png if the above
doesn't work).
The first (ugly) text is produced by Graphics2D.fill(TextLayout.getOutline()).
The second (nice) is produced by TextLine.draw(Graphics2D).
Can someone explain the difference?? Shouldn't they be equivalent? I need the
text as a Shape instance, otherwise I wouldn't bother, I would just pick the
second...
This is the test code:
[code]
public class TestFont {
public static void main(String[] args) {
EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
JFrame f = new JFrame();
f.add(new JPanel() {
@Override
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)g;
TextLayout tl = new TextLayout(
"The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog",
new Font("Helvetica", 1, 12),
g2d.getFontRenderContext());
Shape s = tl.getOutline(null); //shape
g2d.transform(AffineTransform.getTranslateInstance(100,
100));
g2d.fill(s); //drawing the Shape derived from TextLayout
tl.draw(g2d, 0, 100); //drawing through TextLayout
}
});
f.setSize(600, 600);
f.setVisible(true);
f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
}
});
}
}
[/code]
I use Java 1.6.0_10-rc-b28, on XP.
Thanks for any insights on the issue.
