I've recently installed IntelliJ on my Ubuntu system and realized that the font I want to normally use Monaco doesn't render properly in IntelliJ. So, the problem was slightly fixed from this post however the editor would still not render properly with Monaco;
This is currently the state of my IDE:
So, I actually figured it out with some research and playing around; heres how you can do it on your side:
Requirements:
Steps:
We first need to install TuxJDK:
Go on the link above and download the JDK;
Once downloaded the JDK extract the folder named jdk-8u5-tuxjdk-b08;
We're now going to move the folder into /usr/lib/ using Terminal
sudo mv FOLDERPATH /usr/lib/
Then, we're going to get IntelliJ to use TuxJDK:
Go to your IntelliJ path;
Then go into IDEAPATH/bin;
Edit idea.sh using nano or gedit;
sudo nano idea.sh
Go all the way down and you should see a command starting with eval you want to change that command to this:
eval "/usr/lib/jvm/jdk-8u5-tuxjdk-b08/bin/java" $ALL_JVM_ARGS -Djb.restart.code=88 $MAIN_CLASS_NAME "$@"
