I'm currently trying to set up my working environment in Ubuntu 12.10, and I'm currently lost with the styling of Javadoc in Eclipse. The tooltips, and the Javadoc shown in the Javadoc perspective are not rendering the HTML correctly at all.
This is what it looks like on my Windows 7 installation of Eclipse:
On Ubuntu, it looks completely broken and is not rendering anything correctly, which gets especially distracting when there is lots of text, code or other things included into the Javadoc:
Has anyone experienced this kind of issue before or might be able to help otherwise?
Note: I also changed my gtkrc up a bit to change the tooltip color, as it used to be just really dark text on black background, but that should have only changed the general font and background color, not the rendering of HTML.
I just found this very related question:
Eclipse is formatting javadoc tooltips very poorly on Ubuntu
However, noone there was able to answer the person asking the question
Had the same problem- Solution is easy: Install the libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 package available in the default ubuntu repositories.
(If you're not using Ubuntu find out how that component is called on your distro and how to install it)

I use PowerShell as my shell on Windows 7. I find that ConEmu is a really good terminal. Since I am not on Windows 10, I cannot use Windows Terminal but ConEmu is not bad at all. I found out about posh-git and oh-my-posh and how they can customize your PowerShell experience. I installed oh-my-posh and the Paradox theme looked nice. But I saw some empty boxes in random places in my Prompt.
And this is an issue that I face on all the themes. The colors and the design are beautiful and I want to use it but those weird boxes are keeping me from doing that. I would also like to tell that I am using Cascadia Code as my font and also this is the Powerline version of Cascadia Code. So, I think it should work as excepted. Next, trying to fix this, I went to nerdfont.com and I installed Cascadia Code from there as opposed to Microsoft's official GitHub repository. Then I set ConEmu's font to Cascadia which I installed from nerdfonts and this happened:
It's better in a way that I can see the Python symbol and some more symbols but still there is one box that cannot be rendered. But it does get worse if I change repository:
There is a weird question mark after "master". I think I have met all the prerequisites to use oh-my-posh like install posh-git and PSReadLine and having powerline Cascadia Code font and also using ConEmu as they officially suggest. I would absolutely appreciate it a lot if anyone can help me out of this mess and suggest what to do to fix my prompt.
P.S I am using PowerShell 7 Core.
When you see boxes, that means that the font doesn't have that specified character. e.g. there are a lot of specialized fonts that don't have every character location defined.
Right on the oh-my-posh GitHub page, Quote:
In case you notice weird glyphs after installing a font of choice,
make sure the glyphs are available (maybe they have a different
location in the font, if so, adjust the correct $ThemeSettings icon).
If it turns out the character you want is not supported, select a
different font.
Also on the oh-my-posh GitHub page, the font used is:
The fonts I use are Powerline fonts, there is a great repository
containing them. I use Meslo LG M Regular for Powerline Nerd Font
If using Meslo LG M Regular doesn't solve your problem, then you have to manually remap the icons to the correct unicode locations in your chosen font.
For Version 2 of Oh My Posh, you have to edit the $ThemeSettings variable. Follow the instructions on the GitHub on configuring Theme Settings. e.g.:
$ThemeSettings.GitSymbols.BranchSymbol = [char]::ConvertFromUtf32(0xE0A0)
For Version 3+ of Oh My Posh, you have to edit the JSON configuration file to make the changes, e.g.:
...
{
"type": "git",
"style": "powerline",
"powerline_symbol": "\uE0B0",
....
Posting this response because I followed #HAL9256 's response and it was extremely helpful but I had to take it one step further. If you are using windows terminal, you actually have to set the terminal to use the nerd font. This took me far too long to figure out so hopefully it helps the next person.
In windows terminal, open the settings, then the Defaults on the left blad, then the appearance tab, finally change the fontface to something nerd font

I faced the same issue and solved it by editing the following file: C:\Path\To\Your\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\oh-my-posh\2.0.496\defaults.ps1
Within PromptSymbols, there should be something called VirtualEnvSymbol. Just change the value from the current one to something from the above listed ones. For example,
VirtualEnvSymbol = [char]::ConvertFromUtf32(0x26A1)
I've encounter the same problem and was solved installing the fonts.
Download the fonts at https://github.com/microsoft/cascadia-code/releases
Unzip
Right click on the font and select "Install the font for all users"
Enjoy !
From : https://github.com/microsoft/cascadia-code
Just install this whole Cascadia Code font and it will work no need to modify the theme settings.

I like the Netbeans IDE and have been using it for many years. Sometimes I am forced to run it on a remote machine, which I access using ssh with X forwarding.
Whenever I do this, all the text looks TERRIBLE! The fonts are ugly, jaggy, pixelated, and sometimes hard to read. The common solution for adding -J-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=lcd to the default settings in netbeans.conf makes fonts look better, but it causes a HUGE performance drop - the IDE responds so slowly that it is practically unusable.
What can I do? Must I choose between decent performance or readable text? Can't I have both?
It turns out that it is indeed possible to have good performance and good fonts at the same time. I had a really hard time finding this answer, so I put it here on stackoverflow in the hope of making other Netbeans users' lives easier.
The magic trick is the xrender option to the JVM. It changes something about how the java runtime renders text so that the performance drop I saw with font smoothing completely disappeared!
Just add -J-Dsun.java2d.xrender=true -J-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on to the settings line in netbeans.conf (Usually /usr/local/netbeans-X.Y/etc/netbeans.conf), and enjoy pretty fonts and good performance!
Source: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/2d/flags.html
Tested on RHEL remote machine running Netbeans 8.2.
PS: -J-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on turns on font AA without subpixel hinting. This is my personal preference. You might want to try gasp or lcd to see which one you like better. The link lists all the available options.
While trying to make a new project in NetBeans 7.2.1 I've noticed that in the "New Project" dialog, after I select a category (Java, Java FX, Java Web, etc), the project types only show up as icons, the text becoming visible only after I click an icon.
Any idea of what could have caused this behavior?
I could post an image but I'm a new user and don't have enough points for that yet.
Here's a link, though: http://www.flickr.com/photos/67586865#N08/8436549191/
Later edit: I've noticed this in other dialogs, too.
I just deactivated some of my plugins including Dark Nimbus Theme, and
It seems the graphical card driver had some problems, and have figured this out after strange behaviors appeared in other applications, too. After re-installing the driver everything went smoothly.
I've just installed Eclipse for PHP Developers and for the most part it works fine, but I seem to have a problem with the highlighter:
If you hold control and then roll-over a method, eclipse shows a pop-up of the first few lines of source of the method (That's obviously not as useful as JavaDoc, but whatever). The problem is that the background of this popup is black and I can't seem to figure out which preference to set to change this.
Bonus points, BTW, if you can tell me how to adjust the PHP Eclipse colors.
In the Eclipse Preferences, select PHP -> Editor -> Syntax Coloring to change the colors.
By the way... some people say Netbeans is much better for PHP development currently.
This is a bug which actually has to do with Ubuntu as well as Eclipse: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/light-themes/+bug/540332
I've not gotten it to work locally yet, but this is a good head start.
I have been doing some java development lately and have started using Eclipse. For the most part, I think it is great, but being a C/C++ guy used to doing all of his editing in vim, I find myself needlessly hitting the Esc key over and over.
It would be really nice if I got all the nice features of Eclipse, but still could do basic editing the same way I can in vim. Anyone know of any Eclipse pluggins that would help with this?
Vrapper:
an Eclipse plugin which acts as a wrapper for Eclipse text editors to provide a Vim-like input scheme for moving around and editing text.
Unlike other plugins which embed Vim in Eclipse, Vrapper imitates the behaviour of Vim while still using whatever editor you have opened in the workbench. The goal is to have the comfort and ease which comes with the different modes, complex commands and count/operator/motion combinations which are the key features behind editing with Vim, while preserving the powerful features of the different Eclipse text editors, like code generation and refactoring...
There is this plugin that costs $20+
http://satokar.com/viplugin/
I use it and it works great, you've got basic vi movement commands and a set of others.
Here is an open source, free plugin but i've never been able to get it working (i'm on a mac).
http://sourceforge.net/projects/vimplugin/
You can also go the other way and get eclipse code completion inside vim.
http://eclim.sourceforge.net/
You basically run an instance of Eclipse and you will be working inside vim. They just released a version compatible with Eclipse 3.4.
New plugin I've started using
https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/viable-vim-eclipse
Viable has pretty much what you are looking for along with some extra features which none of the other plugins for eclipse seem to have, like some support for visual block mode, command line history, window splitting, and piping external commands.
It is pay ($15.00 CAD) but free to tree with all the features. I personally like it better than the other solutions.
