I’ve tried every way I could think of to get eclipse to stop anti-aliasing the editor font since I started using it over a year ago. I used to use ProggyTiny in my previous editors, as it’s a compact and easy to read font for coding.

I worked out today that ProggyFonts has a version of some of it’s fonts (the best ones) available in apple’s dfont format, which do not get antialiased by Eclipse. Just click on the file icon with the apple in it next to each font where available.

There’s a few little niggles with using these fonts, in your FDT or Eclipse settings, make sure you don’t set any syntax types to display in bold or italic, as the font doesn’t display.
