Some text in charts are not anti-aliased [message #885853] Wed, 13 June 2012 18:15 Go to next message

When rendering a chart in a report, some of the text is anti-aliased and some is not. The title, for example, is anti-aliased. However, the axis labels, series labels, and legend entries are not (see attached file). Is there a way to force all text to be anti-aliased for charts?

I am using BIRT 3.7.2.

UPDATE: The behavior described above was for the report viewer in eclipse. When I deployed to tomcat and rendered the report using the web viewer, all chart text was anti-aliased correctly. Looks like the behavior is specific to the viewer within eclipse.

Thanks for the update. What output format are you using for the chart?

I have tried SVG, JPG, PNG, and BMP as output formats for the chart.

When I render the report with output format PNG in web viewer, it also renders the chart with text that is not anti-aliased. However, when I render it with SVG in the web viewer, the fonts are anti-aliased. Same behavior on export to PDF - with SVG output format, fonts look good - otherwise, they do not.

Perhaps the browser/pdf viewer knows how to render the fonts properly for SVG-defined images, but when the report engine generates a binary image file it does not?

Also, I am running on Mac OS X 10.7.3.

Can you open a bugzilla entry for this?
