Hello everyone, I have an interesting problem. Almost two years ago I came across an issue regarding rendering. This was solved by me changing some NVIDIA settings. It's all documented in that short thread.

Lately I have decided to develop an application for my company using Compose, and - unfortunately - I came across the same issue, which, to be exact, is blurry text. I set up a Multiplatform project and prepared some sample buttons and labels to demonstrate the issue. Below I provided two screenshots - one of a desktop build and second one of a web build. The differences are particularly noticable in regard to the Cancel button.

Anyone knows of any fixes? I came across this dead issue, which did not really help...

Weird, is this is on Windows?

[Stan van der Bend]

Might be DPI related? Have you tried the desktop variant on different monitors?

[Stan van der Bend]

Do you have the same issue when rendering text in a JavaFX window?

[Fureeish]

@Skaldebane yes. On my other PC with Windows the issue persists, but on some Windows VMs (with questionable sources for rendering) it does not.

[Fureeish]

@Stan van der Bend I have tried this on two monitors with different resolutions (and DPI). Doesn't seem to affect the problem. Although C++'s Qt had the same problem for me.

I will try the FX version in a second

JavaFX's (default project template suggested by IntelliJ) text looks nice and crisp. No blurr for me

[Skaldebane]

Interesting. The fact that Qt also shows the same behavior makes me think this is not a Compose issue

[Fureeish]

Based on my research it is a reoccurring issue for frameworks that target Windows. Source:

Thanks for that information, it's good that the cause is known! I feel like I'm always having this issue whenever a new multiplatform-framework targets windows. I remember similar issues when Electron was new, and Qt also has issues unless you manually mess with text rendering.

[Skaldebane]

Yeah, it seems related to fractional scaling
Try changing the display scale to 100%, does the issue persist?

[Skaldebane]

Ah, just looked at the source you linked, seems that issue is still open...
Try opening a new issue for it

Try changing the display scale to 100%, does the issue persist?

I have a 100% scaling. Changing resolution does nothing

Try opening a new issue for it

I commented under the issue I linked. Maybe it will be revived
