Fonts look ugly when embedding PApplet..
Feb 6th, 2007, 11:24pm
 
yo! i am working with a ubiquitous computing project with a few other programmmers, since we are developing in a team we are using the core.jar in eclipse/svn-environment to display the GUI which works very nice. however, when running the PApplet from eclipse (or running a frame/Jframe with the embedded applet) the fonts look very ugly comparing to how it looks if the code would run from the processing-ide. it seems that all smoothing of the fonts are painted in only 1 color thus distorting the font instead of smoothing. what are we doing wrong? is there any .jar in addition to core.jar which should be added to the project in order to get smooth typography with PFont?

very grateful for any help

core.jar is all you need.

a shot in the dark would be that perhaps you're not using background(), and things are drawing transparently (due to a minor bug), which can sometimes cause buildup effects.
