Look at the image. (it is compressed, but actually, the trouble exists):
in word Brightness there is no distance between B and r, in word Blue there is no distance between "B" and "l"...
It looks badly.

I can't no longer see this problem. Please reopen if you see it on 8u40.
Thanks

I'm marking this to Van Ness but I think this will be solved when I fix RT-14187.

I do see the usual due the lack of subpixel positioning but I don't see the same badness between B and r in Brightness.
What is the resolution of the monitor you saw this problem ?

This is windows, definitely.
Use ColorPicker control only to reproduce.
ColorPicker cp = new ColorPicker();
VBox vb = new VBox();
vb.getChildren().add(cp);
Scene scene = new Scene(vb, 300, 300);
stage.setScene(scene);
stage.show();

Aleksandr, I believe this is due to the lack of subpixel positioning in grayscale text.
If you have a testcase you could attach here that would be great. Thanks
