Font is installed but doesn't show in the menu of JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA - intellij-idea

I have updated IntelliJ IDEA recently (I have the latest possible version and build at the moment - see at the bottom) and since then my previously well chosen font with ligatures doesn't show anymore (I don't remember its name). Previously the fonts were provided in a menu, 5-6 of them and you would choose one within the IDE, but now there are a lot of fonts to choose from which I guess are taken from the system.
However, I followed these instructions from this post but still the font is not showing in the menu.
I have installed the font Fira Code (all available .ttf files: Bold, Light, Medium, Regular and Retina) on Windows, so e.g. it is available in Microsoft Word:
but even after restart it is not available in IntelliJ IDEA:
Any suggestion how to fix this?

The font must be installed as an Administrator (install for all users option).
You do this by opening the context menu of the font file, then click "Install for all users".

Intellij Ultimate 2016.2.5 wsl2 path not shown

I have to use intellij 2016.2 ultimate based on license constraints.
I want to use it with wsl2 and I installed intellij on windows.
The problem I have, is that in the project explorer my wsl path is not shown.
Earlier, I used the latest community edition which works fine with this setup.
Is wsl2 supported with intellij 2016.2 or is there an additional setup I have to take in concern

Select home directory dialog can't select a directory

I want to select a new home directory for JDK, as I want to use a newer JDK. However, when selecting NEW -> JDK in the Project SDK settings, a Windows XP style dialog opens up, in which I can only select files and not directories. When I select an arbitrary file in the directory I really want to select, nothing happens.
This is the dialog I get:
This also applies to other projects, I have already invalidated my Caches and I'm sure it has worked once upon a time. This is the result I receive from "About":

Note that I have the same post on the IntelliJ support forum.
Deleting the file ide.general.xml solves the issue. It is not an elegant solution, because this seems to be a bug on the side of IntelliJ (see this ticket).
The problem is, that when syncing settings via the settings repository on Linux and Windows, weird things happen.

Navigate | Class or File popup closes immediately in IntelliJ IDEA 2017.2

I'm having a annoying problem since I update IntelliJ IDEA Community to this version:
IntelliJ IDEA 2017.2
Build #IC-172.3317.76, built on July 15, 2017
JRE: 1.8.0_152-release-915-b5 amd64
JVM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM by JetBrains s.r.o
Linux 4.8.0-53-generic
There is a problem with "Main Menu/Navigate/Class" action. When a trigger this action using keyboard shortcut or menu access, most of time the "Enter class name" window is showed, but closes immediately.
Sometimes the action works ok, but most of time, not.
I'm using linux Mint 18.2 (Cinnamon).
It's a known issue, please follow it here for updates:
IDEA-173000 Navigate | File and Class popups disappear
Workaround (add the following via Help | Edit Custom VM Options):
-DactionSystem.xWindow.remove.focus.from.nonFocusable.popups=false
Downgrading to 2017.1 version is another option.
UPDATE: the issue is resolved in 2017.2.3 release.
According to the release notes it's fixed in the latest release - 2017.2.3 (build number IU-172.3968.16) - 173000 is in the list: https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/IDEADEV/IntelliJ+IDEA+2017.2.3+Release+Notes?fromIDE
What ultimately worked for me was adding -Dfocus.follows.mouse.workarounds=true to my custom VM options (Help > Edit Custom VM Options).
I found this in https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-173000, mentioned above.
I use a tiling window manager (i3) which I suspect is related.

Weird gap in front of cursor in PhpStorm

I am getting a weird gap in my PhpStorm installation as displayed in the GIF. I have another installation for IntelliJ and it also mimics the same behaviour.
I'm on OS X El Capitan and the PhpStorm version is as below:
PhpStorm 2016.1.2

Yeah, I used to have the same problem. I had the exact same settings on another computer with a larger screen, and that one works fine. Then I just simply change the font-size to be smaller, better to be even number, Now it works fine again. Not sure if this is the solution, but you can try it.

Fonts are not showing in font chooser options of netbeans?

I am running windows xp and using netbeans 7.1.2 (Build 201204101705).
When i go to change the font in Tools->Options->Font&Colors
It shows just 5 Font options to select
Dialog
Sansserif
Serif
MonoScaped
DialogInput
Other fonts are not showing? Why? What is the error? or how to solve it?
I found this bug on the Netbeans` website useful. It seems to be related to the JDK version.

Font chooser in Fonts & Colors tab contains only 5 fonts. See the screenshot.
This issue is JDK related, since it happens only with 1.7.0._25
