Java 1.8 font display issue on Fedora 21

What's going on with blurry and thin fonts on the latest JDK8? The same problem exists with JDK7.

On JDK6, the fonts looked clear and slightly bolder, much more readable. It should also be noted that the problem only appears in the editor and in the applications themselves. Menus and installation fonts display correctly in both IDEs.

I'm going to get into IntelliJ and Android Studio as I can't stand eclipse anymore, so I have to switch to Oracle JDK as I'm having trouble with OpenJDK and Android projects. However, working with Oracle or OpenJDK doesn't change the problem.

Images that show the problem.

I spent hours trying to figure out and solve this problem, although none of the fix I tried worked.

Is it possible to fix this problem or should I give up Android development on Linux?
