Ubuntu fonts are great, which Linux are you talking about and is this recent as in the last 5 years experience or is it qualified non-sense on your part?
>> Just look at Intellij IDEA in ubuntu for example.
I have, I'm not impressed overall though on Ubuntu the fonts are fine. I stick with Eclipse because SWT was and is a brilliant idea, the widgets don't just look native, they _are_ native.
That bears repeating, with SWT, the widgets don't just look native, they _ARE_ native.

It's a wonderful editor but I can't use it since it is almost not readable.

Makes IntelliJ fonts actually look good on Linux. It's unbelievable how much better they look, and why no one has fixed this before.
I might actually switch to IntelliJ now.
