Any details? What exactly is fuzzy, what operating system, what is the monitor resolution, what font is used?

Hello all! Good update in JRE v17.xx.12 on this. Font is not blurry and High DPI is better managed.  
(referring to v3.3, of GanttProject)

FYI.

Did you check it with GanttProject 3.3 and the latest Java 17.0.12? BellSoft Liberica or any other distro?

Well, references to “hdi”, “windows”, “monitor size”, “render”, “awt” and “accesibility” are in [release notes](https://docs.bell-sw.com/liberica-jdk/17.0.12b10/general/release-notes/#)

Not sure which one, but seems to be better, and needs a new dpi setting when used in GP 3.3

I mean… it changes the rendering of the font in the GP UI, so the font size with new JRE is now pretty bigger, with same values of “DPI”, etc…

I have built full packages of [GanttProject 3.3.3312](https://www.ganttproject.biz/download) with the bundled Java 17.0.12. They are now served by default from our web site.
