menu font looks like broken in ide-1.8.0:

ide_font_01

In the menu some Korean characters are not displayed completely and displayed like broken. Please compare with the below picture of IDE 1.6.13.

[ide-1.6.3]

Hi @Myriads ,
can you expand your bug report? Are you referring to Korean vs English for board names and programmers or something more subtle?

In the new IDE, menu fonts are not completely displayed. It looks like more thiner than the previous menu fonts:

Same problem in the English Language IDE. Going from 1.6.12 to 1.8.0 gives thinner letters in a font that is more difficult to read. The preferences dialog shows this quite clearly.

For some reason the antialias is gone.
Investigating...

It seems caused by this commit cf54cce that is part of #5578.
I'm looking for a solution.

@cmaglie Do you need any additional docs, screenshots or stuff from a Windows 10 user?

Do you need anyone to alpha or beta test any fix you develop for this? Give me a download link and I'm quite happy to give things a try out (although not on Xmas day).

I managed to reproduce it on my pc so I'm ok for now, thanks!
A test build to try will be produced by @ArduinoBot once I have a fix.

Fix font anti-alias on windows

The properties:

      System.setProperty("awt.useSystemAAFontSettings", "on");
      System.setProperty("swing.aatext", "true");

actually works on Linux (where the hint helps X11 to enable antialiased
rendering) but makes things worse on Windows where the outcome is exactly
the opposite (anti-alias is disabled).

Previously those settings had no effect because they were executed
*after* the initialization of the graphics. This is no more true
after the merge of arduino#5578, that moved the graphics initialization
after commmand line parsing and consequently revealed the weird
behaviour on windows.

I am using Arduino IDE 1.8.0 and Visual Studio 14 on Windows 10.
The font for both is "Input"; with IDE 1.6.13 all OK but with IDE 1.8.0 the fixed length is not taken in account:
SHORT a;
BYTEu b; (note the 'b' is slightly left shifted, like in this non fixed font post)
The font is correctly displayed.

Addendum:
If I use the font "Monospac821 BT" all is OK.

Hi,
I'm using Windows 8.1 and Arduino IDE for Windows.
The editor has its font OK, but the message window is really very bad. I tried to change the font settings onto "preferences.txt" without any effect.
