JetBrains is working on a cross-platform C++ IDE

Why don't you try Qt Jambi or GTK+ if Swing on Linux is awful? GTK integrates perfectly with Linux if you're using GNOME.

Just a thought.

I use GNOME. How would one go about switching out Swing for GTK while running a JetBrains IDE (or another application)?

Simple. Switch to VIM. Or, just write GTK code from scratch directly in the IDE.

It's not too hard. I currently use Swing in Java, all written from scratch - no IDEs to be found. I've also dabbled around with simple GTK+ apps. They aren't as easy, nor as efficient, to work with as the standard Java toolkit, but you get used to it.

I switched back to Swing because I wanted as few dependencies as possible.

So--I'm still missing something. Are you saying that the way to get good font rendering in IntelliJ is to write GTK+ apps? It sounds like you misread the OP.

Ah, I see. I'm sorry about that, but I don't think that there's a solution to fix Swing font rendering in IntelliJ itself. Unless, of course, you dive into the source code.

How would one magically make Intellij or any other Java IDE that isn't Eclipse use one of those?
