Font rendering in gedit is smooth, but not smooth in NetBeans

view story
linux-howto

http://askubuntu.com – See the attached image. The window in the background is gedit with the fonts rendered smooth. The window on top is NetBeans with not-so-smooth font rendering (not anti-aliased, I think). Both editors use Ubuintu Mono font. Can anyone help me to make NetBeans render the fonts better? I'm on 12.10. (HowTos)

Stories similar to Font rendering in gedit is smooth, but not smooth in NetBeans

Hi! I configured subpixel rendering in GTK and it works, but it seems there is a difference in font appearance in GTK and Qt applications.

The fonts in GTK seem thinner, more sharp and aliased while in Qt they are more fat and smooth. This is with the same font name and size.

I am using the xmonad windows manager under Linux Mint 13 and is lacking a smooth font rendering.

Under MATE or Cinnamon, the fonts are smoothed, and choosing the session xmonad with Gnome, fonts are smoothed also. In addition, if I run gnome-settings-daemon while in xmonad, the fonts become smoothed also.

But is there a way to have nice looking fonts without resorting to Gnome?

Microsoft TTF-fonts such as Calibri and Cambria aren't rendered correctly at certain page zoom levels:

(I installed the Microsoft fonts manually by placing them in the ~/.fonts directory and updating the font cache).

Is there any way to improve Microsoft font rendering under LibreOffice?

Nedit-missing fonts 2 years 23 weeks ago

I've downloaded Nedit and am trying to tweak the fonts since the defaults are ugly/unreadable.

The font list is missing many of the fonts installed on my machine, for example gedit shows monospace but nedit does not. Any way to make nedit aware of all the fonts?.

Also, does nedit support anti-aliased fonts?.

Thanks.

I have attached an image of the badly rendered font.

This started happening after upgrading 12.04 (I was on 10.10 before that). The chrome version is Version 22.0.1229.39 beta. Font for the text in multi-color is "CallunaBlack". If I change it to Arial or Times New Roman, it is displayed correctly. The problem may be limited to webfonts.

Initially I had problem with many fonts.

Try installing font packages; ttf-vista-fonts and ttf-mac-fonts will probably help with website compatibility, if you have not done so yet.

I'm wondering if it is possible to change evince font rendering and make it render fonts like adobe acrobat reader.

Font Configuration 38 weeks 5 days ago

Looking for some assistance on font configuration with Asian fonts, specifically, Chinese, Japanese and Korean. I have installed 1 or 2 TTF fonts for each respective language. However, for instance, Chinese is not displaying with the same font across.
