Hi, Last year, I wanted to use JavaFX for a project, but did not because the font rendering on macOS looked bad compared to native apps. I was following this bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8236689 <https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8236689> . It was created over a year ago and recently its “Fix version" was pushed back from 16 to 17.
The way that bug is titled (“non-retina”) makes me wonder: do people realize that this is effecting even retina screens on macOS? I have a 2020 MacBook Pro and the JavaFX fonts have color fringes. I’d like to write a cross platform desktop app, but I need the text rendering to be as good as native. Maybe time to give up and write some Swift code, or a web app (ugh). Rob
