Should we set org.netbeans.editor.aa.text=true?
Hi all,
Default text antialiasing in a modern Linux box (high DPI) is not very good.
After reading http://wiki.netbeans.org/EditorAntialiasing and
experimenting with different values I found the setting
"org.netbeans.editor.aa.text=true" to be the best for me.
Should we make this a default setting in {nb}/etc/netbeans.conf? Any
experiences you want to share?
Thanks,
Antonio

Are there any side effects that this might have?
Otherwise, sure, why not do this, could be good for everyone.

I think I'm a bad measurement for font display quality. I don't see
changes in OracleJDK8, OracleJDK9 or OpenJDK 8 (Ubuntu default) ;-)

Which JDK are you using on Linux?
OpenJDK8 is very bad in my laptop, but Oracle'd JDK 9 is a great
improvement: I can use IBM Plex Mono out of the box [1] (i.e. without
any additional settings).
Thanks,
Antonio

Not sure this antialiasing behaviour is worth improving.
Top (org.netbeans.editor.aa.text=true) vs bottom on JDK 9. Maybe this is
just my box, though.

on my plain old notebook (1980x1050 on 15,4 inch screen), I don't see a
change with aa.text set to true. Could it be, that it is already the
default (I'm on ubuntu linux)?
In general aa-settings look like a nice discussion point, having people
religiously fighting for either side.
