Hi All,
I just installed Webstorm IDE, and the fonts are nearly unreadable:

I'm told the issue might be that I'm using OpenJDK 7 instead of Oracle's Java 7 - I am installing jdk7-compat now, and will report after I've tried it. Aside from that, does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi,
I can confirm this issue using IntelliJ IDEA and PyCharm on OpenJDK7.
Did Oracle java fix the problem?
EDIT:
Setting a JVM param for anti aliasing as described here fixed the problem for me.

I installed jdk7-compat, but embarrassingly enough, I can't figure out how to use it for webStorm instead of OpenJDK. (I started a newbie thread for that question...) I am trying the JVM param solution now, will report back shortly.

Adding the line you mentioned to .bashrc and running
source ~/.bashrcas described in the wiki did not help. That being said, that wiki page has a lot of helpful suggestions, I'll try some other options for now.

As per the Arch Wiki article, I tried enabling TrueType fonts - no dice. I also tried to install the OpenJDK patch, but it wouldn't build. I would paste the output, but there's 34,000+ lines of output, so I think that's a no-go. Either way, I'm still having the same issue.
Is it possible that WebStorm requires a certain font I don't have? I really don't have very many fonts installed, I'm wondering if that's what the issue is. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

Fixed it! The version that I had installed I got from the AUR, When I downloaded it directly from the JetBrains Website: http://www.jetbrains.com/webstorm/download/ the problem was not present. I am leaving a comment on the Webstorm AUR page now to notify the maintainer.
