JetBrains Runtime workaround for fonts on Linux

Raw

Try this workaround:

download new JetBrains Runtime
switch to it
add -Djava2d.font.loadFontConf=false JVM option

Just search into IDE folder for "/jre/lib/fonts/fonts.conf" open it on any text editor and remove the value of weight to empty like this https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/JRE-205#comment=27-2064737
then your font is going to be fine again. Work on Ubuntu 16.04.

Thank you for this, IntelliJ IDEA 2017.1 was totally broken either with bundled JRE and Oracle JDK 1.8.0_121 👍

Would've been nice to explain how to set custom JVM options. It's nowhere in app settings.
I found this page, which tells where it is... it's very unexpectedly hidden in the "Help" menu:

vu-mai commented Feb 6, 2018

Thank God! You saved my day!

ankush981 commented Apr 17, 2018

I just switched to OpenJDK 1.8 and it seems not to have messy font config files. Worked for me straight away after the switch. Will keep a note of this method, though!

caodangtinh commented Aug 15, 2018
