I've found that using the "Nimbus" look and feel (Settings -> IDE Settings -> Appearance) and making sure "Use anti-aliased font" is checked (Settings -> IDE Settings -> Editor -> Appearance) do pretty well.
I am using an Oracle 1.6 Java on Ubuntu 10.10.
PyCharm and IntelliJ also seem to default to an "Alloy" look and feel on Windows, but changing that to the native Windows L&F vastly improves both the fonts and general appearance.
