Linux/Java font rendering - wrong size, too small Follow
Fonts (editor fonts) in Intellij 13, 14 (also in Netbeans 8.1, 8.0.2), are rendered smaller then expected.
The same fonts with the same sizes in non-Java-based editors (eg. Geany, mousepad) and in the system looks right.
I have been looking for a solution - with no success. I think it may be realated to wrong DPI that java font renderer uses - still couldn't find a way to fix this. I also think it's not related hidpi stuff, since I'm ok with overall IDE sizes - the editor font it's just wrong.
Increasing the size in order to compensate the difference leads to unnaturally looking font.
Some examples:
Inconsolata 14 font in Idea::
Inconsolata 14 (expected) in other editors (Geany):
Similar situation with other fonts.
System: Ubuntu 14.04, Oracle JDK 1.8.0_45
Do you guys know to solve this..?

Thanks, that issue was mainly about AA and subpixel smoothing and I came across those solutions earlier.
My main problem wrong font size.
Same here.
Adjust the font size in Settings | Editor | Font | Size or Settings | Appearance & Behavior | Appearance | Size.
