The text in that image, when magnified, looks just like the unfiltered 
sub-pixel anti-aliasing we fixed for JavaFX on Linux. See the section 
called "Actual Result" here:

There are more samples under "ClearType Methods Enabled" here:

I'll check whether I see the same thing after I upgrade my Mac to 
Mojave. I'm currently still on macOS High Sierra.
