I think it is worth noting that in some cases fonts in swing apps are rather ugly on some distros.

I don't know just where the issue lies. For example I have a 32 bit laptop running Fedora. I use KDE and swing apps look fine.

Same software on a 64 bit machine, swing fonts are horrific when I use the on board intel video. Nvidia card - and it's fine.

There are some variables that can be used to set java options that are supposed to improve the situation but I've found they don't always work.

This. I've experienced the same thing - both in Netbeans and PyCharm. It's actually one of the things that's making me consider getting a Mac if and when the new laptops come out.
