JDeveloper11g - code editor font looks horrible

Why is it that my preferred coding font (Consolas - fixed-Width font) looks like sh.t in JDeveloper 11g? And is there any way to improve that?
I'm using Java6
-J.

Frank,
It would be nice if JDeveloper team can add support for additional nice looking fonts in the next release. The default fonts in Micorsoft Visual Studio in Vista looks really great. If the above is not possible, I would appreciate if you can add support for "courier" font (not courier new) since that is one of the fonts that I think will be used by a lot.
Thanks
Bala.

Need help identifying why my fonts look horrible

I reinstalled Arch on my desktop, but forgot to backup my font configuration files. I had Monaco set up very nicely before, but now it looks horrible on my new install, and I can't really see what I'm doing wrong. As far as I know, I was just using the ttf-monaco, freetype2-infinality and fontconfig-infinality (w/ osx2 style) packages, and then modified the infinality.conf file (with emboldened Monaco) and Xresources.
This is what it looked like before:

Also, bold isn't showing up in termite but does in gvim? Not sure why that's happening.

grepping for "font" in the termite git log, I stumbled upon this:
commit a05fdcd4d15316f258175e9a526058bad2c8e7ea
Author: Simon Gomizelj <[email protected]>
Date: Sat Nov 23 20:37:18 2013 -0500
better warning for no browser
...skipping...
Config option to enable/disable bold font
which suggests that a feature to do exactly that (disable bold fonts) has been introduced to the termite codebase. I haven't used termite myself, but either reverting to an older revision than a05fdcd4d15316f258175e9a526058bad2c8e7ea or just enabling bold faces through the said config option could be a solution to your problem.

Available Code Editor Fonts

Where does JDeveloper get its list of fonts available for the code editor (in the preferences) from? I've a fixed width font which I wish to use but it's not listed. Thanks.

Hi John,
JDeveloper gets the list of fonts to use from the JDK call:
java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment.getAvailableFontFamilyNames()
Which platform are you on? If not on Windows, I'm not sure how to setup the JDK so that it picks up the appropriate fonts. Let me know the platform (if Unix) and I can ask our resident Unix experts. If Windows, the JDK should be able to pick up any installed fonts.

How to add a font for use by the code editor

Version 3.0.04 windows
found Preferences -> Code Editor -> Fonts
Did not see the font I would like to use in the list. The font is terminal. The font can be displayed in Control Panel -> fonts in windows.
In the help I found Edit Font Location but could not find the dialog box described in the help
Is there a procedure to add the font so SQL Dev can use it?
Thanks

Hi Dag,
Apparently editing Font Location in 3.0 applies only to ...

Ugly fonts in code editor

I am using JDeveloper 11.1.1.6.0 with Win 7 or Win 8 and the font I choose (Consolas 12) does not display well in the code editor. The text in sample text looks good, but in the editor it's not the same. You can't distinguish the m in bold. See screenshot with anti-aliasing enabled. With and without the anti-aliasing, it's the same.
See https://www.dropbox.com/s/g6f0pma9z92nh4r/jdev.png

I choose Consolas because it's the one I used to use in Eclipse, and it's a good programming font. I also try to use Inconsolata or Source Code Pro. The first one is installed on my Windows but does not show up in the list, and the other one displays all characters as crossed square.
I also noticed that the sample text display looks good for all fonts but in the code editor, the rendering is different. Is it just me or my eye?
What monospaced (fixed-width) font do you advise?
Thanks

JDeveloper Code Editor doesn't do ClearType font anti-aliasing

I can't seem to get the Code Editor in JDeveloper (11.1.1.5.0) to do ClearType sub-pixel font anti-aliasing. Everything else in the IDE is doing proper sub-pixel anti-aliasing, it's only the Code Editor that's not doing it. It's doing "normal" pixel anti-aliasing which isn't nearly as good and still leaves the font looking quite jaggy.
I've got the following lines in my jdev.conf:
AddVMOption -Dswing.aatext=true
AddVMOption -Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=lcd
And I've checked "Enable Text Anti-Aliasing" in Preferences->Code Editor->Display.
Is sub-pixel antialiasing in the JDeveloper code editor possible? If so, how? I'm running Windows 7 btw.

No problem Timo.
I don't think it's worth opening an SR for this. It looks like sub-pixel anti-aliasing isn't supported in the JDeveloper Code Editor, which is a shame, because that's the place where it's most needed.

Em-based CSS looks horrible in RoboHelp editor

I'm creating a help document to be used on desktop and mobile devices in Responsive HTML-5 format and I reworked my CSS to use em variables for sizing and spacing. I have two questions:
Why does this look horribly distorted in the WYSIWYG editor? It looks nothing like the basic preview window or the browser previews. Headings are massive, spacing is either non-existent or exaggerated, and it basically gives me no notion of what it will look like when published.
Is there even a reason to use em in RoboHelp? I checked some of my previously-published help (meant for Desktop only, but published in Responsive HTML-5) on an iPad and a Galaxy, and it looked fine in both cases. The only issue was a table set to a specific width jutting out of the screen, but the content in it was still visible. Maybe RoboHelp handles the resizing such that using em or % has no advantage over px?
Thanks for any input.

I just create topics as normal and let the responsive layout take care of the sizing. Works just fine as you have found.
For tables, in the Responsive SSL see the various options under Optimization.
See www.grainge.org for RoboHelp and Authoring tips

Change font color in Report Code causes font size to change.

I am trying to dynamically change the font color in a report, red for negative, green for positive and blue for 0. I have created a report region and here is my code:
select city_name,
py_re_taxable,cy_re_taxable,
decode(sign(re_chg),-1,''||re_chg||'',
0,''||re_chg||'',
1,''||re_chg||'','') RE_CHG
from rc_dashboard_recap a, lk_city_code b
where b.tax_year = :CURRENT_TAX_YEAR
and a.city_code = b.city_code
and userid = :GLOBAL_USER
order by 1
This code works great except it overrides my css text size and shows up as a page default size. I can't seem to figure out why this happens. This also happens when I try to sum a column. I've set my font size to 11 in my css and it is calling it correctly, however with the above code, my font size shows up at 12 or so.
I am looking at the code (view source from my page and it shows the correct class
<td class="t3dataalta" align="right" >-13.98
in my css:
td.t3dataalta{font-size:11px;padding:2px;padding-left:5px;padding-right:5px;}
If I remove the decode statements with the font color then my font size is correct, but I need to figure out how to make the colors work.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thank You

select city_name,
py_re_taxable,cy_re_taxable,
decode(sign(re_chg),-1,'font color="red"'||re_chg||'/font',
0,'font color="blue"'||re_chg||'/font',
1,'font color="green"'||re_chg||'/font','') RE_CHG
from rc_dashboard_recap a, lk_city_code b
where b.tax_year = :CURRENT_TAX_YEAR
and a.city_code = b.city_code
and userid = :GLOBAL_USER
order by 1
Here is my query, I removed the < and > signs in the code so that you could see what I have done.

DW Code View font different for one .aspx than all others???

Mornin' All!
I can't for the life of me figure out why the font in this
one .aspx (welcome.aspx) is different than all other files on this
site. When I go EDIT > PREFERENCES > FONTS here is what is
shown when welcome.aspx is the file currently opened:
Font Settings: Japanese
Code View: MS Gothic Size: 10pt (small)
I tried changing this from "Japanese" to Western European,
but after I click OK nothing happens, and when I go back in to Font
Preferences it's back to Japanese.
Welcome2.aspx and all other pages show these settings: (this
is how the code view has looked on ALL pages until today)
Font Setting: Western European
Code View: Courier New Size: 9pt
What do I need to do to get welcome.aspx to let go of the
Japanese font settings?
Thanks in advance,
Ron

Preferences: Code Editor: Printing: Add File Path and Date to Print Header?

Is there a way to add file full path and date to the print file header for a SQL Worksheet when printing from the Code Editor? So, for example, if my SQL worksheet is called MySQL.sql and is saved to C:\Myfiles\SQL_Code\, I'd like to print the full path 'C:\Myfiles\SQL_Code\MySQL.sql' and today's date as part of the print header along with the page numbers at the top of the code. I see a Java preview in the Preferences: Code Editor: Printing window that mentions a "Today" date but I don't know Java and that is an uneditable preview. I have checked the "Print File Header" check box. Is the file header definition stored somewhere in a configuration file and/or is there a way to modify/customize the default file header?
I am a new user to SQL Nav. version 3.2.20.09 Build-MAIN 09.87. I could do this in SQL Navigator but can't figure it out in SQLDeveloper. Thank you.

HI
First of all,
Unless otherwise you selected some option like page break after/before - both body and header/footer will print on same page in report, so in pdf as well.
If you have difference on report and PDF that you should look into your setup.
If you want more help, please be particular on your issue

Few featues in JDev 10.1.3 code editor

Few code editor feautes I would like to see in JDev 10.1.3
Reference : http://help.eclipse.org/help30/topic/org.eclipse.jdt.doc.user/whatsNew/jdt_whatsnew.html
1) a method parameter, to assign it to a new field
2) a method declaration. to create the method in a supertype
3) highlight source code according to its semantics (for example: static fields, local variables, static method invocations
4) Highlight method exit points (really helps)
5) Mark locations of thrown exceptions (Easy look up of exceptions)
6) Parameter mismatches in constructors or methods
ex: Quick fixes offerd to cast, swap, add, or remove arguments or method parameters.

Is it possible to make a code editor in Java?

I'm new to java and so i'd like to know if it would be possible to make a simple code editor for Mobile Phones with Java.
The code editor will be for GML.
I'd like to make it so that the code can be easily edited on a wide range Mobile phones (not necissarily smart phones).
If this is possible, I would greatly appreaciate any help or advice. Thanks.

so its hard to say. granted, my code was awful for a long time.I'm thinking of the guy last week who had Swing+JDBC code and kept pestering for help on an obvious syntax error (he was invoking a method with no arguments when it was defined to take a String array) and for the life of him, he couldn't see the error or understand the error message. Posters kept telling him to learn the fundamentals first, but he was stubborn and kept demanding someone fix his syntax error...
