Java font antialiasing in LXQT

I just installed LXQT, and I noticed that my java applications no longer use antialiasing for the fonts.   If I logout of LXQT, and log back in with KDE, the antialiasing works again.
I believe I have the equivalent font settings in my LXQT config that I have in KDE.

LXQT Font settings:
Use antialias fonts:  checked
Subpixel antialiasing: RGB
Font hinting: checked
Font hinting style: Full
Resolution(DPI): 96
Autohint: Checked

KDE Font settings:
Use antialiasing: Enabled
Exclude range: unchecked
Sub-pixel rendering type: RGB
Hinting style: Full
Force fonts DPI:  checked  96 dpi

I tried changing the "Autohint" value in LXQT, but it didn't seem to make any different.

Here is what the java apps look like in LXQT:

Here is what the java apps look like in KDE:

I am using the infinality-ultimate packages if that makes any difference.

Can anyone help?  I really like LXQT, but I use netbeans and other java apps all day long, and the ugly fonts are almost unbearable wink

Thanks!

Re: Java font antialiasing in LXQT

Yep.  I know how to force it via a property on the java command line, but what I am asking is why I did not have to do it under KDE, but DO have to do it in LXQt.

With the java command line thing I have to go wrap each application in a script to set the property or set the system-wide _JAVA_OPTIONS (but that applied to all java apps). While I didn't have to do anything under kde - it seemed to automatically pickup the system settings.

Re: Java font antialiasing in LXQT

My guess is that KDE sets a bunch of those variables for you.

You can file a feature request for the settings application for LXQt if you like.
