Font distorted to the point some fonts are not legible. Turning off ClearType and restarting Netbeans does not resolve the issue.
Created attachment 68709 [details] Screenshot of Distorted Editor Font
I was checking out Netbeans. I'm currently an Eclipse/Aptana user. I was interested in all the languages Netbeans supports among also being free. I'm highly disappointed with the font rendering in the Netbeans editor (sorry). Is this something that can be fixed on my end or is this an actual problem with the rendering?
Hi djrobins! We are aware of this issue, see: http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=137845 This is a regression from 6.1 - font anti-aliasing is broken for some reason in 6.5. I don't know it surely, but it might be a result of a large migration of editor settings... Above-mentioned issue contains a workaround - start netbeans with command line switch "-J-Dswing-aatext=false" (or "-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=false", see http://www.nabble.com/NB-6.5---how-disable-anti-aliasing-in-the-editor--to18737075.html) to disable editor's anti-aliasing. With best regards, Petr Dvorak *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 137845 ***
