Improve font rendering for IntelliJ IDEA / Pycharm in Ubuntu

Image
Stock font rendering in Pycharm / Intelliji IDEA is horrible on Ubuntu. To improve it, change the following:



First of all, we need to install Infinality fonts:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:no1wantdthisname/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install fontconfig-infinality

sudo /etc/fonts/infinality/infctl.sh setstyle linux
sudo gedit /etc/profile.d/infinality-settings.sh
# and set
USE_STYLE="UBUNTU"
Installed the patched OpenJDK with fontfix:
sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:no1wantdthisname/openjdk-fontfix
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk
In $IDEA_HOME/bin/*.vmoptions  add the following: (PS: $IDEA_HOME is the path to IntelliJIdea or Pycharm)
-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=lcd
-Dswing.aatext=true
-Dsun.java2d.xrender=true
and in ~/.profile  add
export PYCHARM_JDK=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-amd64"


or whatever the installed java path is.

Reboot.

Start the IDE and enjoy perfect fonts.
