jEdit fonts rendering looks ugly

[OOzypal]

I just installed jedit using. deb pakg. The interface (menu, buttons) fonts are nice however, the text/script area fonts look ugly.

I installed several different fonts but still no help.

there is a folder that jedit uses to get fonts out of in your ubuntu box.
place your fonts in this folder
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.08/jre/lib/fonts

and the next time you restart JEdit, it should see them.

i installed some fonts for my desktop manually by downloading them from the internet, putting them in a folder called /home/me/.fonts
then running fc-cache from the terminal.

just copy the same font files over to the above folder ( the jvm one)

hope this helps

I have the same complaint about jEdit. Fonts that look good in Bluefish or some other editor appear washed out in jEdit. I stick with jEdit because just about anything can be configued by the user.
