Java2d toolkit looks noticeably worse on linux.

As mentioned in https://github.com/phronmophobic/membrane.term/pull/14#issuecomment-977189391, the font rendering on linux using the java2d toolkit looks pretty rough.

Here are the screenshots from the linked comment:

clojure -M:membrane.term run-term --toolkit java2d --font-size 20

clojure -M:membrane.term:skia run-term --toolkit skia --font-size 20

Note: the way github displays the screenshots doesn't look so bad for the java2d toolkit, but if you look at the high resolution version, it should look obviously worse.

For whatever reason, I do explicitly turn on anti aliasing when drawing to an image. I wonder if the same artifacts show up when running screenshot.

I found these two references that might also help:

https://batsov.com/articles/2010/02/26/enable-aa-in-swing/ https://askubuntu.com/questions/636666/ugly-non-anti-aliased-fonts-in-java-swing-applications

Both recommend the following

// enable anti-aliasing
System.setProperty("awt.useSystemAAFontSettings","on");
System.setProperty("swing.aatext", "true");

// Alternatively (and if you do not have access to the source, or if you find this easier) you can simply pass
// the system properties above to the JVM by adding these options to the command line:

-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on -Dswing.aatext=true
