[Bug 234314] Re: Ugly fonts in java app

 

I noticed the font problems when installing the latest Netbeans 6.5.
In the EULA, scrolling down with middle-mouse scrolling makes the text overwrite itself and makes an unreadable mess. Once installed, Netbeans shows code double spaced! Uninstalling openjdk and installing Java6jdk fixed it, though:

According to info from David Herron fontconfig.properties refers to nonexistent lucida fonts. It needs to be updated. Good example to show ugly fonts is to run NetBeans IDE with Metal L&F (which is default)
