Precisely that, i.e. the problem *is* the new graphics engine. It's hardware accelerated and it is well known that achieving high quality font rendering with hardware acceleration is not simple. Microsoft have achieved reasonably good results with their DirectWrite technology but, other than that, hardware accelerated graphics toolkits struggle to render fonts in an acceptably aesthetic manner. I believe this has been flagged as a bug or enhancement request for JavaFX but I won't be holding my breath for it to be resolved any time soon simply because there is no easy fix. I don't believe JavaFX will have much market penetration or acceptance unless they can resolve it though as apps/applets simply don't stack up to those built using CPU-based toolkits visually speaking. -- And loving it, -Qu0ll (Rare, not extinct) _________________________________________________ Qu0llSixFour@gmail.com [Replace the "SixFour" with numbers to email me]
