Hello all,
With the newer versions of Java your Swing apps can look extra pretty
thanks to font smoothing. When using Ubuntu (as I am) the builtin
desktop environment configurations set this up for you - when running
GNOME, KDE, or XFCE it looks great. But I choose to run my .xsession
file instead, which loads FVWM. And somewhere along the line something
isn't set right and I don't get pretty smoothed fonts in my Swing apps.
I checked environment variables and I can't see it there, so I'm
thinking it may be an X resource? I don't know; if anybody has any
ideas on which knob I can twiddle to get the pretty fonts back, I'd
greatly appreciate it!
Best regards.
