Font problems on WinXP
Submitted by dcbeethe on Friday, 21 July, 2006 - 13:39
I seem to be having problems getting jEdit to render fonts properly on a PC (WinXP to be explicit). My preference is the Bitstream Vera Sans Mono fonts which are noted as the top choice elsewhere within this Wiki. On my Linux machine the fonts for jEdit render nice and crisp, but on my PC they are pretty awful -- lots of jaggies, etc. What puzzles me is that the same Bitstream VSM in another app like the venerable old WinEdit looks great. Is there something special you have to do for jEdit on a PC so that the fonts render as clearly as they do in other apps? I live in jEdit on my Linux machine, and would like to be able to do the same on my PC when I have to, but I cannot make jEdit render a font clearly on my PC ...
