Java fonts are blurred

[negopus]

ng Java in real-life projects. I am maintaining a Java project at
work. I have installed Jdeveloper 9.0. Fonts look really ugly and
blurred, both in the development environment and in the running
applets. In JDEV I cannot change fonts, at least I cannot choose the
highly readable fonts I use in other editors.

I think that this general graphic roughness (fonts and everything
else) is one of the reason of the limited success of Java.

By default you get fast and ugly. If you want pretty, you have to ask
for rendering hints. see http://mindprod.com/jgloss/font.html

I understand "fast is ugly, pretty is slow". How slow?

Try it out. It takes only a tiny bit of extra code to turn it on.

How do I do that in the JDdeveloper 9.0 development environment GUI
(not the application itself)?

I ask the authors.

They may not have a hook for it.
