No you're not alone on this... I've been complaining of poor text rendering quality on JavaFX for years now. Though in my case, I was complaining about javafx font rendering on Windows. Some of the times I use to call this, that seems to improve font rendering somewhat on some systems:
System.setProperty("prism.lcdtext", "false"); Javafx font rendering on Mac OS is better than on Windows. When I worked for a very well known company here, we used to do all the product screenshots on Mac because it would look noticeably better than on Windows (I use Windows) because of the poor font rendering quality on that OS. Given the majority of desktop users use Windows this is even more of a problem. My 2 cents.
