Unless they fix their 64bit Linux version [1] I'm not bothering try it out again and give up within a few minutes. http://www.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/182s

Try adding these lines: -Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on -Dswing.aatext=true -Dswing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel to the pycharm64.vmoptions file.

  Hmm, I have a hard time seeing a difference, but this is a large screen and a decent computer. What uglieness should be fixed by this? I use Oracle Java 1.7.0_21-b11 64-bit. Those hundreds of Java flags are a mystery to me.

    It tells AWT to use anti-aliased fonts, same for Swing, and then set the LookAndFeel to GTK.

  When I originally tried these, they did nothing for me. And now that I think about it, I wonder if it had something to do with my KDE setup and how it handles GTK stuff. That could be another thing that changed for me that fixed it. Because it did get better recently but I don't know why. The issue is with Swing, not JetBrains products alone and I sympathize with them but I can say it was bad enough for me that I just couldn't use their stuff on my primary work machine.

I posted that comment. I run Fedora 18 with KDE on a 64 bit machine. When the new Android IDE came out based on IDEA I downloaded it to take a look at it. I opened it up and much to my surprise the fonts looked pretty good. I opened up PyCharm and it looked good too. It had been a while with a lot of updates to Fedora including KDE, Java and so on. So I don't know where the problem got resolved but it seems pretty good now. I think it is worth noting - I never had a problem on my 32 bit system running the same OS and what not. This was also an issue for all my swing apps on that machine - not just the JetBrains stuff.
