Description synchro 2009-03-25 15:29:59 UTC

In the "Fonts & Colors" preferences panel there is no option to disable anti-aliasing, resulting in poor readability of fonts that have bitmaps available at small 
sizes, for example Monaco 10.

Since Netbeans 6.5 we rely on JDK to pick up system defined AA settings. For the compatibility reasons there is still
-J-Dswing.aatext=<true|false> property that you can use to forcibly turn antialiasing off (eg. -J-Dswing.aatext=false in
netbeans.conf or on commandline).

That works perfectly, looks much better, but it would still be nice to have a checkbox in prefs for that.

Comment 3 Vitezslav Stejskal 2009-04-20 14:04:37 UTC

We may add that checkbox some day.
