[jira] [Created] (NETBEANS-5687) IDE fonts is unreadable on Linux

09q5jfqc created NETBEANS-5687:
----------------------------------

             Summary: IDE fonts is unreadable on Linux
                 Key: NETBEANS-5687
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-5687
             Project: NetBeans
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: cnd - Editor
    Affects Versions: 12.2
         Environment: Sparky Linux rolling KDE edition.

Linux 5.10.0-6-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.28-1 (2021-04-09) x86_64 GNU/Linux

The system Java (OpenJDK11) render completely unreadable font. This is the best looking font JDK I trial and error from AdoptOpenJDK:

java --version
openjdk 11.0.11 2021-04-20
OpenJDK Runtime Environment AdoptOpenJDK-11.0.11+9 (build 11.0.11+9)
Eclipse OpenJ9 VM AdoptOpenJDK-11.0.11+9 (build openj9-0.26.0, JRE 11 Linux amd64-64-Bit Compressed References 20210421_975 (JIT enabled, AOT enabled)
OpenJ9   - b4cc246d9
OMR      - 162e6f729
JCL      - 7796c80419 based on jdk-11.0.11+9)

System Settings of KDE set Anti Aliasing to true and Hinting style is Slight. All of the application looks good, only NetBeans is so bad.
            Reporter: 09q5jfqc
             Fix For: 12.3
         Attachments: Screenshot_20210518_151511.png

This is my first issue so please forgive if it's too amateur. Java Swing applications tend to have very bad font rendering on Linux but I found with previous versions of NetBeans if I changed the editor font to Liberation Mono and increase the size to 16 the code will look good again even though the UI font still bad. This trick no longer worked. The font after changed to Liberation Mono definitely looks better but still bad.
