Problem with fonts antialiasing in JetBrains IDE

After update to version 2017.* fonts become very ugly. Looks like antialiasing isn't working at all or working wrong. But here is solution for this problem.

  1. Download JetBrains Java SDK (version 1.8.0.112b783)
  2. Unpack it to any directory (don't replace existing files)
  3. Switch to this JDK in IDE by this manual
  4. By this manual change JVM options to add this line:
    -Djava2d.font.loadFontConf=false
  5. Don't forget to restart IDE
