Pycharm 2016.3.2 text rendering is unreadable on Fedora 25 (gnome)
Answered
I'm using the default UI that ships with Fedora 25 (gnome with Wayland enabled). I'm guessing Wayland has something to do with this. I've updated openjdk to the latest version (1.8.0_121). I'm running pycharm.sh from /opt/pycharm-community-2016.3.2/bin

Please, try to start under another JDK (Oracle JDK 1.8 or our custom bundled JRE): https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/206544879. Does it help?
The linked article refers to a <product>.jdk file located in the config folder. I checked the folder, and there's no .jdk file in there, just a bunch of .xml files. So it seems PyCharm is not using its bundled JRE by default, which seems odd. I would add a .jdk file in order to use the bundled version, but I don't know the file format! Can you point me to an example?
Another idea: Maybe the Linux version is now working like the article states the Mac version works: only create a .jdk file if the default is changed (and I assume the default is the bundled JRE).
