If you’re using intelliJ on linux, know that the default openjdk has defects for supporting antialiased font rendering on Linux. You can google for a patch, or repos to install a fixed jdk, settings to change, compile this that.
I found it easiest to… (for me this is on Linux Mint 17.2)
- Install Oracle Java http://www.webupd8.org/2012/09/install-oracle-java-8-in-ubuntu-via-ppa.html
- Make it the default that intelliJ points to (setting JAVA_HOME or installing oracle-java8-set-default)
- And for good measure I added the following to my idea.vmoptions:
#-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=lcd
-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on
-Dswing.aatext=true
-Dsun.java2d.xrender=true
