When I try to use choose a font for the editor in Android Studio, it doesn't apply Anti-Aliasing on fonts for smaller sizes. With the Ubuntu Mono font Anti-Aliasing only appears after size 20, other fonts it happens at 16. But on Eclipse anti-aliasing works on even at size 12. So you end up having to use large fonts on Android Studio, which means you see less visible code. If you choose a smaller font, there is no Anti-Aliasing and my eyes become strained. I know Android Studio is based on IntelliJ's Idea.

Currently I am using these settings in the studio64.vmoptions settings file

-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=lcd
-Dswing.aatext=true
-Dsun.java2d.xrender=true

I have tried various settings for Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings and still the same issue. Is there another setting to control at which size Anti-Aliasing is turned on.

Here are some screenshots Ubuntu Mono 16 (No Anti-Aliasing) :

Ubuntu Mono 16

Ubuntu Mono 20 (has Anti-Aliasing) Ubuntu Mono 20

Ubuntu Mono 12 in Eclipse (ideal for me) Ubuntu Mono 12

I have uploaded the images to imgur as this site is compressing the images, and the quality is affected.

I am using Android Studio 0.86, Oracle's Java 7 on Ubuntu 12.04 with Nvidia drivers.

  • In the answer doesn't it tell you to use Oracle JDK instead of OpenJDK?

  • Your first screenshot does have antialiasing, it's just the very bad one you get with OpenJDK and (to a way lesser extent) with Oracle JDK. You should consider using OpenJDK with the font fix applied.
