Re: Font rendering issue on macOS - cut off characters

I completely forgot we had that report. I think it describes all the same things discussed here. So it is a catalina issue, not a regression, and it is retina & non-retina, but the various consequences are more apparent on non-retina, and only on non-retina are we seeing the cut-off glyphs.

Sounds like the same bug I've already reported to the OpenJFX project: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8236689 It occurred for me the first time after updating to macOS 10.15 / Catalina and only on non-retina displays. Unfortunately

Re: Font rendering issue on macOS - cut off characters

Should I understand 10.15.4 is the only version of macOS you've tried ? Not some earlier version of Catalina for example ? Folks *mostly* use retina so it is possible that if it is somewhat recently introduced it is specific to non-retina. As to the cause ? I can only speculate. Rounding

Font rendering issue on macOS - cut off characters

Hello all, I just started experimenting with JavaFX and I notice a font rendering problem on macOS Catalina 10.15.4, an older (2012) MacBook Pro that does not have a “retina” display. As an example, if I create a `Label` with the default font and the text “aod”, then the “o” character looks
