[SOLVED] Extremely ugly fonts with Java

Hello,

using java-21-openjdk, I installed PortfoliePerformance (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/port … rmance-bin), a Java application.

The fonts are ugly, to the point, that the app is not usable. Of course, I followed https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Java and https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Java_R … ment_fonts.

- ttf-ms-fonts are installed
- I tried variations of `export JDK_JAVA_OPTIONS='-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=lcd -Dswing.aatext=true -Dswing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel'`

All variations of said JDK_JAVA_OPTIONS (or the absence of it) brought no visible change.

The system is KDE based with fonts using Noto Sans and Hack on Wayland.

Any other advices? Maybe try the Flatpak version?

Best Thanks!

Ok, it seems to be a Wayland issue. On a X-session the font rendering is fine.

Either installing xsettingsd or xdg-desktop-portal-gtk fixed it.
