PyCharm font style bug? - intellij-idea

I'm using macOS Mojave 10.14.3 and PyCharm Community 2019.1 .
After I upgraded it to 2019.1, the font of all texts looks dimming, and it gets bright only near the caret. I'm using the font of Monaco, and it behaves the same in other fonts too. Other settings are the same as the default.
Maybe it is related to antialiasing, because it does not occurs when I change the settings of antialiasing to Greyscale or No antialiasing .
But when I select the two options, the text does not get bright even near the caret.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Text Colors in VSC Editor and Terminal - Atom One Theme

Why does VSC (Intellisense?) not recognize certain functions/variables in the Python environment? (see the underlined text in the attached photo). It's working fine for C (using C/C++ extension), otherwise. I am using the Atom One theme and for the C environment every word/command seems to have some color. I tried reinstalling the extensions and going through the settings the best I could, but I can't figure it out.
As a side question, why do I get colored paths in Terminal on my Windows machine (see bottom part of the attached picture), but not on my Mac? Is there some default setting for this that's activated only on Windows? I am a fan of it and I'd like to get my Mac showing some colors too.
Mac:
Regarding the terminal text colors, I found the solution here: Color theme for VS Code integrated terminal.

UI Text not rendering properly with Intellij IDEA and MacType

I wanted to make Intellij IDEA on windows look like the one on OS X Because in
my opinion it looks much better, so I installed MacType, I was able to get the
editor font render correctly, but when I change the UI font to match OS X's UI
font, The text gets cut off in some places. The font I am trying to use is
Lucida Grande size 15. You can see it for yourself in the picture
below:

But if I remove disable MacType rendering, everything works fine, but it looks bad.

I've tried changing MacType's settings, but nothing works!
I am on Windows 10 Creators Update with Intellij IDEA 2017.2
Any help would be appreciated.
I found the answer myself! Apparently if you open the mactype profile you are using with notepad, and paste the following text at the end of the file:
[Experimental#idea64.exe]
ClipBoxFix=1
Then all the fonts will render correctly. Note, this does not only work for Intellij IDEA, but also all other java applications and a few others. To achieve this, all you have to do is replace "idea64.exe" with the name of the app executable. An example is for the 32-bit version of Intellij, you would replace "idea64.exe" with "idea.exe".

IntelliJ IDEA - Choosing specific font width within family

I'm on OS X El Capitan running IntelliJ IDEA 15.0.3.
I've been trying to change the font in my IntelliJ IDEA editor, but when I go to select which font to select, the dropdown list only gives me a list of font families, and doesn't allow me to choose individual weights, as I wanted to use the Book font, while IntelliJ uses the Medium font by default. Is there any way to prioritize which weight I want to use?
I found an indirect way by disabling the Medium font file through Font Book, but that kind of bothers me because that disables it for all programs rather than simply IntelliJ.
Thanks in advance.
This should be possible now. I just checked by going to Settings > Editor > Font and different font weights show up correctly in the dropdown:
If you still have this problem, you should file an issue with JetBrains.

Why is the font in the new IntelliJ IDEA 14.1 not rendering properly?

I've just upgraded IntelliJ IDEA (ultimate) to Version 14.1 and the font used in the Project View, Menus and Dialogs seems not to be rendering correctly. I exported the same settings from my 14.0.3 version just in case, although they seem identical, but it still remained the same. I didn't do any changes to the JDK or anything, and if I run the old version the font changes back to the nice and crisp one. I am using Ubuntu 14.04. This problem does not happen on Windows 7.
Under IntelliJ IDEA 14.0.3:
Under IntelliJ IDEA 14.1:
In the new one the font seems to be a bit larger (even though in both cases I they are set to Font Size 22, and I imported the settings from the previous IntelliJ IDEA installation). Notice how for example the 'g' is cut off underneath. There are also other problems where the text is misaligned on the buttons, or not fully visible in dialog boxes.
Usually this doesn't happen when I upgrade. Is there some way to make the font look like before? Did something changed in this latest version and I need to do some JVM switch in the startup script or something?
Update: 5/11/2015
Just updated to IntelliJ 15, and the problem is still there.
Attached new screenshot. Notice how the text is cut out at the bottom where there are letters like p and y, and the button text is offset.
Seconding an earlier response to this question, I have also have had great luck fixing font rendering issues on IntelliJ using tuxjdk. Tuxjdk is a JDK for the IDE, while any applications you're coding on runs in their own project configured JDK such as Oracle or OpenJDK. Here are the instructions:
The following fetches, unpacks, and moves the version you need to /usr/lib, then cleans up the archive. Modify /usr/lib to wherever you like to keep your JDKs.
wget http://urshulyak.com:85/jdk-8u5-tuxjdk-b08.tar.gz
tar -zxvf jdk-8u5-tuxjdk-b08.tar.gz
sudo mv jdk-8u5-tuxjdk-b08 /usr/lib
rm jdk-8u5-tuxjdk-b08.tar.gz
Open up idea.sh in your IntelliJ application folder /idea-IU-141.*/bin. Change the following line at the bottom of the script from
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$IDE_BIN_HOME:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" "$JDK/bin/java" \
to
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$IDE_BIN_HOME:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" "/usr/lib/jdk-8u5-tuxjdk-b08/bin/java" \
That's it. This made huge font improvements for me in Ubuntu 14.04.
UPDATE (by OP)
This solution is the best so far (until JetBrains decide to fix it properly).
I would just add the line: IDEA_JDK="/usr/lib/jdk-8u25-tuxjdk/" to the top of idea.sh, which the script checks before resorting to JDK_HOME etc. (so is probably the recommended way) rather than messing with the LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
In my case I got nicely rendered but huge fonts with this solution. In order to fix it I had to do an extra fix from Appearance & Behaviour -> Appearance
I chose the 'not recommended' option to Override default fonts by Arial size 12. This was the best effect I got so far.
I am using OSX. It may not help.
Double tap shift and search for 'Switch IDE boot JDK'. Try different JDKs if there are.
This might not be the answer you are looking for - but ever since I've started using tuxjdk, I haven't had problems any more with font rendering & intellij on ubuntu. Maybe give it a try?
If you're willing to use the IntelliJ 15 EAP, there is an option for antialiasing (default is checked for me) that appears to match how it was rendered in 14. The option is under Appearance & Behavior -> Appearance:
I have tried all of the command-line arguments to try to get this behavior in 14.1, but was unsuccessful.
