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.
Comment 1 Vitezslav Stejskal 2009-03-26 11:20:06 UTC 
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).
Comment 2 synchro 2009-03-26 11:44:21 UTC 
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.
