The crisp fonts saga

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. Cheers,
