turning on anti-alias

   These settings should already be enabled by default. If you believe they are not, try running the application using java -jar masterpassword-gui.jar -Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on -Dswing.aatext=true to see if this makes any difference.

   In my tests, fonts look decent. Can you attach screenshots of your issues / share your platform details?

   Running it with the given parameters is not making a difference. Maybe it is already activated, but the fonts are pixelated.
   Maybe it is font-dependent, some look better than others.
   You can see the letters y or w for example, the home folder and the link in the bottom.

   I'm using Arch linux, KDE desktop.

   Don't know if the following is useful at all to you:

   Hi. Yes it helps :)
   If I add that option the app looks great.

   So I checked why the command given by you didn't work.
   Looks like the order matters, this fixes the issue as well:

   java -Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on -jar masterpassword-gui.jar

   (possibly java programs can also set this themselves, so the users don't have to. Not sure if it breaks something on another platform)

   I'm not comfortable overriding system defaults. There may be a very good reason why AA is not enabled by default on Linux. And even if there isn't, that isn't necessarily true for all other platforms ever.
