Hi Felipe,
 
thanks for the response. I added a comment to the JIRA issue. I don't have IE \
installed on my system, but I just made a similar comparison with text in Outlook, \
and it was indistinguishable from the text in Firefox.  
Cheers,
Rob

Hi Robert,
 
Please add this information to https://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-14187
See my previous message, it is possible the difference is due to the shader we use to \
produce subpixel glyphs.  
I would have used IE as a representative of a native Windows Microsoft app, but I get \
the point.  
Thanks
Felipe

Hi all,

I've done a few tests to compare font rendering between JavaFX and something native \
on my 64bit Windows 7 machine. I used Firefox to test native font rendering, and \
JavaFX 8 b100 (my apologies if something's been fixed since then), using the code \
Phil just posted to create a Label, explicitly specifying black text & a white \
background. The font is the default one: Segoe UI, size 12.

I've attached a screenshot of the word 'Entry' blown up 400%, with the native text on \
the left. They are similar but the native text is slightly darker. This is actually \
quite significant - when viewed at 100% the native text looks clearer and more \
vibrant. 

The right side of the 'r' is also cut off in the JavaFX case. Is this related to \
https://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-14187 ? And is there anything I can do to \
increase the 'blackness' of my JavaFX text and make it more like the native text?

Thanks for the help.

Rob
