[SOLVED] PyCharm 5.0 - antialiasing font problem

After upgrading PyCharm to 5.0 version, the application have problem with antialiasing font. It doesn't matter what java version you are using (7 or 8). The characters have one pixel of pink shade at the right.

Gallery with presented problem. The problem is most visible at the Help menu at the top bar.

After an hour of research, I have found solution.

1. Place the line

export _JAVA_OPTIONS='-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on'

at your ~/.profile or ~/.bash_profile file. It will pass correct antialiasing parameter to your all java-apps. Restart X server is required.

2. Open settings in PyCharm, select appearance & behaviour and appearance.

3. At antialiasing section, select greyscale both for IDE and editor.

Now you have correctly antialiased fonts in PyCharm. Have a nice coding.
