Linux Ubuntu, Suse, Elementary - Idea, Webstorm Monaco font not visible

Can other Java Swing IDEs see it as monospaced? Try NetBeans and JEdit.

Having the same problem in IntelliJ IDEA 2017.1

Environment:

IntelliJ IDEA (Community Edition) 2017.1.1 EAP
Build #IC-171.4073.17, built on March 30, 2017
JRE: 1.8.0_112-release-736-b16 amd64

The same question to you, can other Java Swing apps recognize this font as monospaced?

Yeah, good question. So I first tried the following Java snippet to test. I currently have `Hasklig` as my editor font in IDEA:

public class FontTest {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment ge = java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
    String[] allFontNames = ge.getAvailableFontFamilyNames();
    System.out.println(
        "Monaco: "
            + java.util.Arrays.stream(allFontNames)
                .anyMatch(name -> name.contains("Monaco")));
    System.out.println(
        "Hasklig: "
            + java.util.Arrays.stream(allFontNames)
                .anyMatch(name -> name.contains("Hasklig")));
  }
}

With output

<pre>

Monaco: false

Hasklig: true

</pre>

Then I tried jEdit which is a Java Swing editor to confirm. In jEdit I could not either choose `Monaco` as it was not listed.

Searching further shows that `Monaco` font on Linux **must** be TTF and in Unicode; otherwise it does not work.

I confirm that I have now the correct version of the font which works in all the above.

Thanks! It may also help others if you share the link where to get the proper version of the font.

This discussion page helped with the link at the end of the page.

Great - IT WORKS!!!

You have to install monaco from this link :   http://www.gringod.com/wp-upload/MONACO.TTF , refresh font cache, reopen Intellij and thats it.
