I am using Windows XP and am learning how to program in Java. Is there any
way to get my fonts to be anti-aliased in both editors and in my programs?
The non anti-aliased fonts don't look very good and are a little harder on
my eyes.
Thanks.

I don't understand the joke. That's not the most helpful answer to my
question. If there is no way to do it then just say so.
The fonts in Java aren't anti-aliased by default. I am at my computer for
hours each day and it is hard on the eyes. Anti-aliased fonts are much
easier to read and they look better. I don't want my applets to have the
jagged-font look. Letters like capital 'A's and 'V's look especially bad.

Sorry, I was thinking you only experienced anti-aliasing problems in your
IDE...

Thanks... I will experiment with that. The fonts in the IDE and text
editors are often terrible because they are not anti-alised. I figured that
since they are open source, maybe there was a way to change the font
settings. For example, I was using NetBeans and the fonts are unbelievably
bad, especially the italicized comments. There are also some
closed-source text editors which are otherwise great programs, but they have
bad fonts: TextPad, and UltraEdit32 come to mind. I discovered Eclipse, and
the fonts are much better, so I guess I will just use that for now.
Textpad is letting you changing the font style in the document content view.
Others zones have already been fixed with antialising if the use of
cleartype is set in your OS.
Try it : document properties window, font tab : choose "courrier new" in
place of default "courrier".
PS : Eclipse is the best choice for Java IDE !! "Martin Froment" <ma************ @sympatico.ca> wrote in message

Take a peek at JGRASP. Really nice for beginner and has all you will
need plus more.. I use Eclipse 95% of the time but sneak over and use
JGRASP because of my machine load\memory and for the purity of a clean
IDE. Everything with in your reach. (debugger, UML, etc.... http://www.jgrasp.org/index.html

There are many different editors to choose from. I suggest you try a
number of them before making your choice because everyone has different
preferences and needs.
The editor that I like to use is called MED:
MED - Programmer's Text Editor http://www.utopia-planitia.de/indexus.html
It's ShareWare, and I registered a 5-user license because I use it on
more than one computer here (the price is reasonable, and was definitely well
worth it to me).
There is a strong trend favouring open source software as well, but
"open source" isn't always what many people generally think it is. For
example, it doesn't mean "free" and there could be other restrictions as
well, so be sure to read the license agreement before you use any product
(regardless of whether or not it's open source).
