Change your fonts in Intellij to make it look like Eclipse!

I've been working with Intellij for awhile now and I must say that for Groovy/Grails development it beats the default Eclipse or STS IDEs.

The one quirk (up until now) that I have is that the fonts look horrible. Well no more.

Thanks to http://722.kalaari.net/b/lang/fr/2012/09/30/improve-font-rendering-under-linux-for-your-favorite-java-ide/ we now can change the fonts to look like Eclipse.

Set GTK+ in appearance, and
export this: export _JAVA_OPTIONS="-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on -Dswing.aatext=true"
