Question

On the picture below Consolas 10pt in Font Manager and in Pycharm 2.7.2 In Pycharm it became small and bold-ish Is there a way to render it similar to Windows style?

Answer 1

I replaced OpenJDK with tuxJDK which works for me perfectly.

Here's a screenshot,

To install,

1. Download the JDK with wget or any httpclient.

   wget https://googledrive.com/host/0B68yuEpDuq6waUl5UjNTUWRlYTQ/jdk-8u5-tuxjdk-b08.tar.xz
   

2. Extract downloaded JDK

   tar -xvf jdk-8u5-tuxjdk-b08.tar.xz
   

3. Move extracted files to /usr/lib/jvm

   sudo mv jdk-8u5-tuxjdk-b08 /usr/lib/jvm
   

4. set priorities to tuxjdk as 1

   sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/java" "java" "/usr/lib/jvm/jdk-8u5-tuxjdk-b08/bin/java" 1
   
   sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/javac" "javac" "/usr/lib/jvm/jdk-8u5-tuxjdk-b08/bin/javac" 1
   

5. Correct permissions and ownership

   sudo chmod a+x /usr/bin/java
   sudo chmod a+x /usr/bin/javac
   sudo chown -R root:root /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-8u5-tuxjdk-b08/
   

6. Now setup the defaults,

   sudo update-alternatives --config java
   

   if the terminal shows "There is nothing to configure" quit this step.
   it will prompt a selection window as shown below,

   There are 2 choices for the alternative java (providing /usr/bin/java).
   
     Selection    Path                                            Priority   Status
   ------------------------------------------------------------
     0            /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java   1081      auto mode
     1            /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java   1081      manual mode
   * 2            /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-8u5-tuxjdk-b08/bin/java         1         manual mode
   
   Press  to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number: 
   

   enter the selection number adjacent to tuxjdk (here 2).
   do the same for javac and select tuxjdk if it exists.

   sudo update-alternatives --config javac
