Cannot run IntelliJ - NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class sun.awt.X11GraphicsEnvironment

I am unable to start IntelliJ with my fresh installed OpenSUSE 13.2

Here's the logs:

xybrek@opensuse:~/idea-IC-139.659.2/bin> ./idea.sh

What could be the problem here?

I was able to reproduce your issue on OpenSUSE machine with not installed fonts. You may want to try to fix that by installing x11 fonts:

zypper install xorg-x11-fonts xorg-x11-fonts-core

Oracle JDK worked because they have proprietary fonts included in the bundle and fontconfig.properties for them.
