I have an arch install with LXDE. Font rendering is perfect for every application I have tested (libreoffice, browsers, Gimp, etc.) excepting for scratch. Fonts do not have any kind of anti-aliasing and are displayed poorly.
How can I make scratch display text properly?

So, I'm just getting into Scratch programming. The ugly fonts were really bugging me too, and this thread popped up near the top of my Internet search.
The answer for me was... I was using Scratch 1, because I didn't realize there was a Scratch 2.
So I installed Scratch 2, which is actually what the book I have is teaching with.
And Scratch 2 has a nice pretty font configuration by default.

Thanks for the help! Unfortunately scratch2 is not in the official repos, but I will give the AUR package a try!
EDIT: Hum, it has a dependency on Adobe Air... I think I will continue with the ugly font rendering, but thanks anyway!

I understand.
Could you figure out what toolkit was used to make Scratch 1? I couldn't figure it out! Because if we know that, we might be able to figure out the font issue...

It uses squeak-vm. Font rendering is presumably done through pango.
