Yes JetBrains are a good bunch of people and a lot of people like and buy (or freetard :-) their products. Every Java application on Linux looks totally crap, because Sun only ever put real effort into getting the Windows graphics working, leaving Solaris, Linux and Unix out in the cold. Applications that work in harmony with GTK or Qt either on Gnome or KDE have very good looking fonts — assuming the fonts outlines are good, and the right hinting level for the outlines is used. > > It's been this way for decades.

That may be true on Windows, but OS X is sort of OK and Linux seems fine. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:[email protected] 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: [email protected] London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
