Question

in the a swing app i’m rendering text with a custom JComponent, using Graphics.drawString(). here is a sample:
aa text http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/4928/drawstringsample.jpg
in that same app, i’m rendering text using a JTextPane. here is a sample:
alt text http://img28.imageshack.us/img28/1134/jtextpanesample.jpg

can you notice how the lower sample is a little ‘smudged’? well, i can’t figure out how to make it look like the upper sample.

thanks, asaf 🙂

update:

• System.setProperty("awt.useSystemAAFontSettings","false") and "lcd" too aren’t working.
• ((Graphics2D)g).setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_TEXT_ANTIALIASING, RenderingHints.VALUE_TEXT_ANTIALIAS_OFF) in paint() isn’t working
• putClientProperty(sun.swing.SwingUtilities2.AA_TEXT_PROPERTY_KEY, Boolean.TRUE) gives java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.Boolean cannot be cast to sun.swing.SwingUtilities2$AATextInfo

Answer 1

putClientProperty(SwingUtilities2.AA_TEXT_PROPERTY_KEY, null);
