Hi Luis,
I’ve purchased PHP storm too, and I’m trying to fix the “fonts” issue, with no lucky. My eyes are bleeding. The people on jetbrains should give us a solution! Let me know if you finally find a proper solution that not involves to be a unix master or compile a custom JDK.
Thanks
Hi Manu, yeah me too was successful in compiling but the result was worse. The guy told me to switch to dejavu but in phpstorm does not work that way, i guess unless i am missing something, so if you know something else we can try please let me know.
Hello Luis,
this is so frustrating… after a few months using Sublimetext 2, I’ve decided to go back and give a chance to PhpStorm in his new 5 version… but I’m still getting that horrible fonts… I’m even handling the option to switch to Windows, but it makes me feel worse… I just want a proper font render, is really that so hard to achieve?
I’m on KUbuntu 12.04 and Oracle JDK 1.7.0.7_07 and I’m pretty much without problems because of fonts.
Keep in mind that Ubuntu doesn’t have the best track record for rendering fonts, I hate how their default font works in their Terminal but I’m not having such issues with KDE.
Hope it helps you.
Thanks for the info, in that case, I’ll give kubuntu a try, could you show me a screenshot of the font rendering? I’d really appreciate it, thanks!
Sure, check the ticket on YouTrack, I’ve posted it there
Oh, that’s a proper render, finally! So I’m switching to KUbuntu in 3, 2, 1… Thanks.
I’ve installed KDE desktop on my Ubuntu 12.04, but, I’m still getting shitty renders… is necessary to completely switch to KUbuntu?

For better font views, i added the following to idea.vmoptions:
-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=lcd
-Dswing.aatext=true
That works nice
