Description:
In Windows, mysql Workbench render fonts in sql editor very well, with antialiased forms. But in Linux the fonts are poor rendered, without antialiased. Even I choice another font (instead the default monospaced font), the behavior (no antialiasing) is the same.

This problem happens only in SQL text editor area.

(sorry my bad English)

How to repeat:
Go to a SQL editor and type some text.

Suggested fix:
Enable antialiasing in SQL editor fonts.

Many thanks for writing a bug report.

I tested lots of fonts here and you are totally right ... seems no antialiasing is happening. Neither on TTF nor on pixel fonts.

Can you check whether the default font (leave the Editor font setting in Preferences -> Appearance empty)
will give better results?

Yes, with empty font option in the apperance window, the antialiasing works fine.
