Yes it is 7.9 but I was under the impression that if the “Use Bundled Java” checkbox was used then the Noto Sans font is used for the Logical Dialog font. I can see those ttf files in the runtime folder under the vision client launcher install. Is this incorrect?
Hmm, might be right, I need to dig a little deeper.
Linux and Windows fundamentally render fonts differently, and there are also differences when anti-aliasing is applied or isn’t, so you probably need to get some screenshots to illustrate the differences you’re seeing.
You may also just have to “deal with it” and develop/test your screens on both OSes, because even with all the stars aligned there’s still fundamentally small differences in how the fonts will render and how components will need to be spaced. Screens do not render exactly 1:1 across OSes.
Leaving extra whitespace also allows for variations due to translations. In other words, if spacing is too tight between the two platforms, you might be in for bigger problems eventually.
The good news here is that the effort here is to move to Linux so I am just experiencing the small paper cut problems that cascade from migrating. Thanks everyone for the quick answers and suggestions. I don’t mind dealing with the issue if there is truly a difference between rendering as Kevin suggested.
