Re: RDI on Retina Display Mac

Yes, RDI comes with it's own Java but I believe that there is some Mac
infrastructure that is installed by the legacy Java. My understanding is
that this dependency will eventually go away but by then you will have the
legacy Java installed and won't notice ;)

FWIW I have a mid-2015 retina Macbook Pro with OS X 10.13 and RDI seems
crisp to me and I have not tinkered with any settings specific to RDI. I
do have the display set to the max "more space" setting to accommodate
another app that I need to run if that matters.

You shouldn't have needed the Java 6 for RDi - I'm pretty certain that IBM
ships its own version of Java with RDi.

Hi all,

Has anyone had any success making RDi look clear on a Retina Display Mac
running native resolution?

Mine is still looking pretty blurry.
I've tried a few things from posts on the net, talking about adding some
keys to the Info.plist file in the RDI package, and then renaming the
package etc but they don't seem to have made any difference.

I'm using a pretty old version of Eclipse for my Java development

(Helios)

and the fonts in that version of Eclipse look sharp.

I've just upgraded the Mac to High Sierra - it's a 2012 15" MacBook Pro
Retina.
I had to install the latest SDK to run ACS.
Then I had to install the Legacy Java6 to run RDi.

Everything runs fine and works well, it's just that the fonts don't seem
very clear in RDi. I've tried a few different fonts and font sizes.

Has anyone else had this issue?
Thanks kindly,
Craig
