Wayland font antialiasing in Swing/AWT programs

[chelobaka]

Running Java demo Font2DTest on JBR 21.0.3b509.11 with -Dawt.toolkit.name=WLToolkit option makes program window respect desktop scaling setting but all text is heavily aliased. Good old AA options -Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=lcd and -Dswing.aatext=true don't make any difference. Is there a way to turn antialiasing on for arbitrary Swing/AWT programs?

Did you try the freetype variant of JBR perhaps?

This font aliased issue seems to be related to the specific application, as shown in the figure:

This three window is:

• Geogebra 5.2.857 with freetype variant of JBR
• Geogebra 5.2.857 with standard variant of JBR
• JOSM 19207 with standard variant of JBR

Both standard and freetype variant of JBR have aliased fonts in Geogebra, but standard variant of JBR does not have obviously visible aliased fonts in JOSM.
