I know this is a pretty common bug, however none of the solutions I could find helped me.



Fonts are ugly in Java applications



Here are two examples (Processing & PyCharm):



ProcessingPyCharm
(Astonishingly "Events" looks just fine here)



As I mentioned above, there are many solutions out there, but none of them fixed the problem for me:



  • Enabling Anti-Aliasing

  • Using GTK LookAndFeel

  • Installing fontconfig-infinality

  • Installing the Oracle JDK (instead of OpenJDK)

  • Installing the OpenJDK-Infinality patch

How can I fix the font rendering?



Some useful (maybe?) information:



$ uname -a

          Add _JAVA_OPTIONS='-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on' to your /etc/environment file.



          If you are running java applications from console, add export _JAVA_OPTIONS='-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on' to your .bashrc (if you run bash shell) or .zshrc (if you run Z shell).



          Log out then log in again.

            As I mentioned in my question, I've already tried "Enabling Anti-Aliasing". I assume that I did not log in again at that time.
