How are the fonts with Ubuntu (Linux)? Last time I used it a year ago they were terrible.

I used the EAP at home, they were great on ElementaryOS.

I think they look good, I've been looking at them for hundreds of hours without complaining. Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/sPmh5qd.png http://i.imgur.com/sPmh5qd.png

  I wouldn't consider this "looking good". Last time I checked you still had to put great amount of work to get them to look halfway decent [1].

You can make java programs like all JetBrains IDEs use the OS native font rendering, just add the following snippet to /etc/profile.d/jre.sh and source or relogin to take effect. export _JAVA_OPTIONS='-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on -Dswing.aatext=true'

  Nope, doesn't work, I just tried it. Eclipse default: http://i.imgur.com/MKCUJR8.png http://i.imgur.com/MKCUJR8.png IDEA with your JAVA_OPTIONS: http://i.imgur.com/UGDVhin.png http://i.imgur.com/UGDVhin.png

We are continuously working on improving it and fonts are indeed better now, however, there are a lot of things we can't do something about because of JDK for Linux. There are some links and information on additional configuration for Linux to be checked at http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-57233 http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-57233

  Yeah, that kind of sucks about Linux, it looks better now but still ugly. I love the products on Windows, where it looks great and works great. Especially love PHPStorm for PHP and IntelliJ for Java :).

This is the reason that I cannot use phpstorm on linux. I was a long term phpstorm user on windows, but when I swapped to linux I just couldn't stand those fonts. I now dread opening up phpstorm.
