I am in the process of porting my JavaFX2 application over to JavaFX8 and I have noticed the text are so badly rendered on JavaFX8, where in JavaFX2 they are fine. See the screenshot below.

enter image description here

This issue is very noticeable when the font gets smaller. Label 1 using 24px, Label 2 and 3 are 13px.

I have tried to use

System.setProperty("prism.text", "t2k");
System.setProperty("prism.lcdtext", "true");

and the results are slightly better. My question is am I setting something wrong or that is how the behavior of JavaFX8 is ?

UPDATED: After playing around with more settings

System.setProperty("prism.lcdtext", "true");

seems to have "fixed" the issue enter image description here

I'd suggest to file a jira ticket on your findings, font support was totally rewritten to use platform liberies – tomsontom Jan 13 '14 at 22:02
