Hello Phil, Thanks for your reply.
On Windows XP I see that jlabel-*, jtextcomponent-*, pswing-*, and phtmlview-* all render the same, in that they ignore the LCD-specific rendering hints (compare e.g. jlabel-lcd-hbgr and java2d-lcd-hbgr, which look very different on my LCD monitor, since HBGR is not appropriate for it). PText uses java.awt.TextLayout.draw to render text, see PText.java, line 522 http://code.google.com/p/piccolo2d/source/browse/piccolo2d.java/trunk/core/src/main/java/org/piccolo2d/nodes/PText.java#522 Why this should look different than Graphics2D.drawString, as in AbstractJava2DTextRenderingBenchmark, line 68 http://dishevelled.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/dishevelled/trunk/text-rendering-benchmark/src/main/java/org/dishevelled/text/java2d/AbstractJava2DTextRenderingBenchmark.java?revision=996&view=markup michael On Wed, 2 Mar 2011, Phil Race wrote: > Michael, > > I don't know anything about what the P* stuff is, and can't speak for OS X, > but the results all look correct in the screen shots for Sun/Oracle's > Swing / Java2D on Windows.
