[jira] [Commented] (NETBEANS-904) Support fallback font options

["Nathan Christiansen (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-904?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16634723#comment-16634723 ] 

Nathan Christiansen commented on NETBEANS-904:
----------------------------------------------

The default Monospace font seems to lack the CJK code pages. I think NB used to show fallback fonts for CJK characters, but before JDK 8.0.

I can work around this by setting the editor's font for default text to a font that has the CJK code pages. (Noto Sans Mono CJK TC;  Noto Sans Mono CJK Jp; or Noto Sans Mono CJK Kr). However the monospace of the lower 256 ASCII characters these are not quite monospaced and therefore things do not quite align properly.

It would be nice to add the ability to set Monospace font and have the editor find an appropriate font for the UTF-8 range that the main font cannot display.
