Antialiasing

I would like to see antialiasing for the Windows client.

My knowledge of the subject is very limited but I understand that Java 2D provides antialiasing for text and vector graphics.

What is the hold-up or is it just a matter of priority?

that is completely out of our hands
It is a sun thing.
With 1.5 release you already have some antialiasing..
see:

(a system property: -Dswing.aatext=true)

I figured it was a Java limitation, but thanks for pointing me into the right direction.

For clarification and anybody who wants to use anti aliasing (font smoothing) change the shortcut target as follows:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\javaw.exe -Dswing.aatext=true -Xmx256m -jar servoy_developer.jar

And you will have to install Java 1.5 (5.0).

I like it :D
