Hi there,

I was trying to render a simple text into an embedded processing application. I use the following code:

    public void setup(){
        size(this.getWidth(), this.getHeight(), P2D);      
        textFont(loadFont("Verdana-12.vlw"));
    }

    public void draw(){
        background(255, 255, 255);
        smooth();

        fill(0,0,0);
        text("I like reading Monteiro Lobato.", 100,100);
    }

It works, but the text is rendered awfully. I looks like the text was blured and the first line of characters bitmap was cropped. I spent many hours reading the forum, trying different codes, comparing the processing IDE and mine. I was going to give it away, when I decided to be more drastic: I changed the rendering engine, that is, I changed

size(this.getWidth(), this.getHeight(), P2D);

to

size(this.getWidth(), this.getHeight(), JAVA2D);

All text became beautiful and marvelous! My post is that I can't understand why? Why?! Shouldn't be the processing rendering better qualified to be used than the Java2D?

Thanks in advance,
