Do you have an ~/.Xdefaults file or a ~/.fonts.conf?
You cant try enabling hinting in your ~/.Xdefaults or ~/.Xresources like this:
Xft.hinting: true
Xft.hintstyle: hintfull
Here are the relevant sections of mine:
! Xft settings ---------------------------------------------------------------
Xft.dpi: 96
Xft.lcdfilter: lcddefault
!Xft.antialias: true
Xft.rgba: rgb
Xft.hinting: true
Xft.hintstyle: hintfull
!Xft.hintstyle: hintslight

Hello,
I have a problem with xmonad under Debian with no particular config (no Config.Gnome etc.): in every Swing application, fonts are not anti-aliased, which is ugly.
If I add the -Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on option when I start a jvm, fonts are anti-aliased. There is no global property file in Oracle jdk to configure this (notice that the problem is the same for openjdk). I can use the _JAVA_OPTIONS environment variable to set this option, but it adds comments in the console every time I launch a java application, which I do not want. There is no problem with GTK applications.
If I start a gnome-session from xmonad, fonts in swing applications are correctly anti-aliased.
Is there a way to correct this problem?
Sorry if an answer has already been provided, but I did not find any searching the web and Xmonad website.
Thanks in advance,
Christophe
