Font rendering issue in MATLAB R2019a on Ubuntu 18.04

Hi,

as the title suggests, I'm using MATLAB R2019a on an up-2-date Ubuntu 18.04 machine with Intel Integrated Graphics and two 24" normal-dpi monitors.

I now noticed something that makes me wonder if what I'm experiencing is indeed normal. Namely, when printing the current path, there is no wrapping or whatever, but there are hundreds of letters printed over each other in the same line, creating an unreadable gibberish.

Any ideas on how to fix this issue?

Hi,

Try setting the 'FontSmoothing' axes property to 'off'. It is 'on' by default.

The link below contains more information about MATLAB's DPI-aware behavior

Also the answer in the below given link gives some work arounds but these are mostly for high dip.
