Description (last modified by edso)

as noticed by running OpenJUMP. see https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeolive/raw-attachment/ticket/2478/Screenshot%202024-09-09%20203422.png

tips from the net like export _JAVA_OPTIONS='-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on -Dswing.aatext=true' do not seem to help.

spoke too soon. probably mistyped into my vm. export _JAVA_OPTIONS='-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on -Dswing.aatext=true' fixes it.

this can be made permanent by appending
_JAVA_OPTIONS='-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on -Dswing.aatext=true'
to
/etc/environment.

can someone please add this fix to the alpha? thanks!

Is this fix expected to affect other projects?

comment:4 by edso, 8 weeks ago

indeed. you may want to check other java apps with gui, but i'd expect them to suffer from similar issues which should be solved by setting this env var globally.

i see base java specific stuff is setup in

https://github.com/OSGeo/OSGeoLive/blob/master/bin/base_java.sh

do you want me to provide a PR for that to the effect above?
