There is a bit of work needed in the Es2SwapChain to enable LCD Text for mac, especially in regards to working well with dirty regions. (sharing the stableBackBuffer)

Thanks Thor. That works, but I can see why it was turned off. Found RT-19040 tracking the issue.

It was decided, after this bug was fixed, that LCD text would be turned off by default on the Mac. To turn on one can use System.setProperty("prism.lcdtext","true");

It is great that this issue has been resolved, but the Ensemble app does not demonstrate it. In 2.1.1 it is gray-scale antialiased. Is that a bug or a feature?

This bug was resolved when RT-18458 was fixed. Back on 12/13/2011 rt-closed changeset: 15119 (f0abb0df6e6c)

I believe the final obstacle of rendering LCD text on Mac will be resolved once RT-18458 is fixed.
05-01-2012
I believe this has long since been addressed and should be marked as "resolved" since LCD text is now working on Mac.
