I just got rid of my 17in MacBook Pro and have a 15 in Retina box now. It looks very nice. And running Windows 8.1 with Retina and letting vmware tools adjust the resolution works very well. Except for anything Java related! Unfortuneately about the only thing I use this vm for is java applications(web based mostly). And they look terrible. Even the Java Control Panel app looks terrible. Many options and buttons are just missing from the dialog I suppose because of the font and display issues. The JRE in firefox is unusable.
I read briefly that java does not respect any of the windows settings.
I set the Computability mode for java.exe and and the Java Control Panel app not enforce DPI and no changes.
Anyone have any advice or how to fix?
