Re: font color fringes on macOS, not a priority?

I reported this issue back in November 2018 on this very mailing list. Desktop-consistent font selection and rendering has been consistently one of the more problematic parts of both Swing and JavaFX, including poor support for rendering variable San Francisco font starting with macOS Catalina.

Re: Re: font color fringes on macOS, not a priority?

Just curious...while reading up on the below Metal API / MacOS OpenGL depreciation, I notice reference to coming changes with OpenGL relating to transition to “Vulkan” which if I understand correctly may be a similar change in lower level graphics API (I think similar to Metal). Will updated to

Re: font color fringes on macOS, not a priority?

Not a solution to the problem (the color fringes on Mac apparently are using almost fully saturated subpixels which seems like a serious issue), but I see color fringes on most screens so I always just turn this type of rendering off. It obviously depends on the pixel density though as higher

Part of that 11+ minutes of the macOS build on GitHub Actions (which starts from a clean machine) is downloading and installing the JDK and other tools (gradle, etc), and cloning the repo. Also, incremental builds are much faster after the first one. So even if you do a full build once,

font color fringes on macOS, not a priority?

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 . It was created over a year
