Poor rendering of the font on Mac Os

[D4nte]

Is it possible to improve the font rendering on mac os? I downloaded the binary from the website.

This is unfortunately an upstream JavaFX bug when running on OSX Catalina. Text renders poorly on non-retina displays. There is an open bug report on this: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8236689

Does it look ok on your Retina display?

Yes indeed, it looks good on the retina display!

I'm going to reopen this, as it's still an issue that comes up occasionally, and I hope is addressed.

Fixed in 63259a2. The characters on an external non-retina screen in OSX are still a little close together, but there is a substantial improvement in rendering. Reference: openjdk/jfx#642
