  I run PyCharm in 64-bit linux and have no font problems. Perhaps you should ask in the Jetbrains community forums, and include some more details / screenshots?

  Whats wrong with the way the fonts look? I find that people are split on the matter of good font rendering on Linux: some perfer hinting with bytecode-enabled fonts while others prefer antialiasing with hinting turned off... Personally I like to add this line to bin/idea.vmoptions -Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=false which turns off anti aliasing, then use windows fonts (Verdana for menus, Courier New for code) inside the IDE.

  Hi, I do when I browse Java and Scala code. I'm not sure what problem you mean, but I have to run `wmname LG3D` before running idea, otherwise the fonts are not displayed at all. With that, it runs fine; the only (minor) problem is that switching to another window and back to idea makes the cursor disappear and some point-related shortcuts stop working until I open any menu/window within idea. I use a tiling window manager; I wonder if it claches with the Java UI library somehow.

  Running Idea on 64bit Ubuntu here. Yes, there is a solution and it is a huge hack. The idea is to make your own fonts with hinting info stripped out - check out http://gleamynode.net/articles/2280/ http://gleamynode.net/articles/2280/ For instance this is how Go code looks in my IDE: http://i.imgur.com/jcWVFuS.png http://i.imgur.com/jcWVFuS.png Some people don't like the blurry look but I have grown quite fond of it.
