How to get rid of the rainbow in a font on Linux?
Good morning everyone!
Finally found a distro to my liking (Linux Mint Debian), and started getting off Windows.
Everything is good, everyone likes it. The only problem is the rainbow in the font, and it's only noticeable in WebStorm. Infinality, which supposedly solves this problem, the package manager does not find in the specified repository, it may be outdated.
Someone faced similar? How to solve this problem?

The problem was solved by switching to Linux Mint 17.1, installing the package https://github.com/achaphiv/ppa-fonts/tree/master/... and adding the parameter to webstorm64.vmoptions-Dsun.java2d.xrender=true
Fonts in graphical Java applications are always a pain, unfortunately. It gets better if you add the following options to the _JAVA_OPTIONS environment variable:
However, it's not perfect either. Then I found Infinality patches for OpenJDK . Having patched and compiled, the fonts became beautiful in the JVM and I am incredibly happy about this.
For Arch, PKGBUILDs are in the AUR, of course:

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/jre8-openjdk-in.. The ArchWiki page
may also be helpful .
Here is a comparison (the view may depend on your monitor, in my opinion the difference is huge):
I just pick the font until I'm satisfied (now DejaVu Sans Mono). Try playing around with the subpixel antialiasing settings in your DE as well.
