Fonts look...weird in Windows
Submitted by imgod2u on Friday, 11 February, 2005 - 14:53
In x11, the fonts in jEdit look ok (not as good as they do in say, gedit under KDE or Gnome) but in Windows, they exhibit this weird behavior where the colors are not uniform. I'm not sure if it'll show up in this screenshot but:

As you can see, the capitalized text with color (specifically, "INTEGER"), seem to have white "stripes". I turned antialiasing off and the characters looked even weirder, like they had pixels missing where they should be. I'm not sure what's causing this as other fonts in Windows look just fine.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've also noticed that fonts (like monospaced and Lucinda Console) don't look the same in jEdit as they do in other programs (even on the same computer)
