Scaling is set via

 
xrandr --output HDMI-1 --scale 1x1

This is an image on HDMI-0 representing my issues. Take note to font size.

In Gnome-tweak-tools -> Fonts, Hinting is set to None, Anti-Aliasing is also set to None. When set to anything else,  (HDMI-1) Netbeans font is then illegible

Sorry in advance if this is posted elsewhere. I've looked through the Fonts, and Multihead Wiki, to no avail.

EDIT: fixed image.
EDIT 2: read the wikis more thoroughly, changed anti-aliasing and hinting configurations, restarted X, solved.

Kind Regards,
Boogz
