Poor font rendering..

[Felipe Heidrich]

Thank you Rob,

It would be interesting to test against a DirectWrite app. I’m not sure if you have VS, but if you do it should be simple to modify  the Simple Text tab in the DirectWrite Hello World Sample to use the same font and text:

I have attached your screenshot to https://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-36146 for now so it doesn’t get lost.

Regards
Felipe
