According to SWT FAQ, Advanced Graphics is supported by SWT in the following cases: - SWT for Windows uses GDI+ for advanced graphics, which is installed on Windows XP and newer. Windows 2000 users can download and install a Microsoft package containing GDI+. - SWT for GTK+ and Motif use Cairo for advanced graphics, which is installed on systems with GTK+ 2.8 or newer (for example RHEL 5). - SWT for OS X uses Quartz for advanced graphics, which is installed on all supported OS X versions. It seems this holds for all Luna supported platforms (http://www.eclipse.org/projects/project-plan.php?planurl=eclipse/development/plans/eclipse_project_plan_4_4.xml#target_environments). As such, there does not seem to be need for an explicit ScaledGraphics anymore, as SWTGraphics could instead be used. We should thus deprecate ScaledGraphics and replace its usages with direct scaling of the underlying SWTGraphics.

After searching for a long time we found that that problem was causing quite an issue in our GEF Legacy application. The fix from Bug #470334 works like a charm. As I've seen other projects duplicating that fix: What can I do to get this into the official GEF code base?
We stopped using ScaledGraphics in our RCP app, Archi. However, there is a side-effect of using zoom levels other than 100% if a font uses styling with underline or strikeout, where the font is not displayed. See https://github.com/archimatetool/archi/issues/851 This is just a heads up, not a request to fix the issue.
In Eclipse 4diac we did the same (inspired by what you did in Archi). We see less issues then what you have. But I'm not sure why. Especially under Linux GEF Classic editors look now much better. You know that we are revamping GEF Classic. If you have things that should be fixed in the GEF Classic classes I would be happy to have your pull-requests in the new GEF Classic git hub repo: https://github.com/eclipse/gef-classic/

I'm already trying to contribute to GEF Classic: https://github.com/eclipse/gef-classic/pull/38
