I try to force antialiasing for font in **Ignition 7.9.12** (like in Ignition 8.0) (windows 10 client)

I’ve added to my launch cmd these flags, but it has no effect ???

```auto
-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on -Dswing.aatext=true 

```

I also tried this (on v7.9.13):

```auto
from java.lang import System
System.setProperty("awt.useSystemAAFontSettings","on")
System.setProperty("swing.aatext", "true")

```

inside Clent Startup Script with no luck…

Why can’t antialiasing be ON by default?
