Hi Danno,
I am comparing Text with LCD smoothing and Label (untouched) so shouldn't they both be using LCD smoothing and look the same?

Turnbull; openjfx-dev@openjdk.java.net Mailing Subject: Re: Poor quality font rendering Are you seeing the different defaults for LCD smoothing? The Text default is Grey and the Control default (which Label inherits) is LCD.

Text will do it always, Label only when the font is greater than a certain size. Scott On 2013-08-28, at 5:26 AM, "John C.
