Best font to use with Ubuntu Intellij Idea [closed]

Intellij IDEA very poorly renders editor fonts on Ubuntu. I have found a lot of questions and blog posts about this problem, but nothing satisfies me. What is a developer font that renders very well in IDEA on Ubuntu?

I'm using Liberation Mono which looks very good with Ubuntu 12.04 and IDEA 11. Others I've liked are Envy Code R and DejaVu Sans Mono.

Check this issue. It has some recommendations for the fonts on Linux. DejaVu Sans Mono looks fine for me.
