jdownloader & openjdk [solved]

With dev-java/icedtea getting masked and removed i switched over to openjdk.
I could no longer pass "-Xms1g -Xmx6g" to specify heap sizes but i don't recall the originall issue why i used it so i am trying without.
But the ui rendering now looks very bad and fonts are barely readable.

Are there ways to influence this?

Try to export the env variable _JAVA_OPTIONS='-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=lcd'.

a good bit better, not yet as crisp as my fonts on the console or firefox (tbh. could not tell what is used there, fc-match mono gives me
LiberationMono-Regular.ttf: "Liberation Mono" "Regular")
But thanks for this hint. I tried passing "-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on" but that did not help but using lcd on the env worked.

Thanks a lot!
