Whats wrong with the way the fonts look? I find that people are split on the matter of good font rendering on Linux: some perfer hinting with bytecode-enabled fonts while others prefer antialiasing with hinting turned off...
Personally I like to add this line to bin/idea.vmoptions
-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=false
which turns off anti aliasing, then use windows fonts (Verdana for menus, Courier New for code) inside the IDE.
