It’s all down to free downloadable and open-source font editing software that’s good-quality and accessible on many operating systems. FontForge wants users to remember that playing with fonts is fun! Users can convert the fonts from one format to another and generate information from the font file. As representations of the creator’s individual genius, all fonts out there are extremely diverse-although not all are good quality and free.įontForge isn’t only about merely creating and modifying fonts for the purpose of doing so. I think it’s interesting to note that thousands of people are downloading fonts every month. Promotional sentence aside, however, what should be known about FontForge? something in the capture blurred it slightly).FontForge celebrates fonts as a work of art, and it highly encourages beginner and advanced typography designers to share their creative work. Screen shot as requested: (actual text is clearer than this capture. And I can now use the Inconsolata as my Netbeans editor font and it looks GREAT. This changed my Netbeans fonts from 1990's acceptable to modern day awesome.
FONTFORGE EDIT SYSTEM FONT INSTALL

FONTFORGE EDIT SYSTEM FONT PATCH
Install infinality patch $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:no1wantdthisname/ppa Install freetype $ sudo apt-get install libfreetype6 Ubuntu 13.10, Netbeans (7.3), Infinality font patches to freetype, OpenJDK7, and patches to it to fix Swings dismal font handling. I thought I was just going to have to live with terrible text in netbeans. I know this is an old question, but in my quest for the same problem, I tried all the tricks here without luck. No, not perfect and yes, a bit of a hassle, but still a world of difference. Run Netbeans and use the font you created as editor font.
SWT applications like Eclipse are fine, but if you like Netbeans this isn't gonna help you.Ĭaveat: For the following workaround I'm only talking about the editor font, because in an IDE that's what's important to me.
FONTFORGE EDIT SYSTEM FONT FULL
It always uses full hinting, and if you're running Ubuntu with little or no font hinting (as most people do since little hinting is the default setting) this will make the font appear significantly different than in other applications. Swing does use Gnome's font smoothing settings (deactivated, greyscale or subpixel) - it disregards the hinting settings though.
As has been stated in the comments, this is a problem with Java Swing apps on Linux.
