please recommend Linux Font for Netbeans on Linux
Hello list ...
Please refer to the screen shot below ... The comment on the right is the
column number of the parent class/interface on that line.
[image: image.png]
I'm running Netbeans 9 on Ubuntu 18.10 and using the JDK 11. for contrast
on the command line in terminal, everything lines-up with al lthe fixed
fonts I've tested. Including Courier 10
Same fonts in Netbeans are all over the place. It is a mess. No matter
which "Look and Feel" I use.
Does someone know a fixed font that works in netbbeans so that this example
lines up:
1 2
123456789*123456789*
That's using the Gmail fixed font setting. 10 spaces in is a "1". This is
all ove rthe pace with netbeans. I don't think there's reason for that
except no one cared to make it work. VS Code manages to work OK.
aloha,
\_w_/

Sorry but my input may not have been too helpful after all. It seems I'm
still using JDK1.8 and Netbeans 8.1.

Are you using OpenJDK 11?

I use Netbeans on Linux Mint, based on Ubuntu, and have never seen the
problems you describe. I just use the default font that Netbeans comes
with and don't even know what it is but it works for me.

Hi Gregor,
Thanks for your comment. Bassed on my trails with different Fixed Width
fonts -- It looks as if the issue is to do with Netbeans, not the fonts.
The fonts work find in other applications -- Examples here are from VS Code:
- https://itnext.io/11-best-programming-fonts-724283a9ed57
The screen shot I provided was using "Courier 10", which seems to famoulsy
work (virtually) everywhere else. And yet on two different lines in
netbeans the Display of the variable name both in column 41 appears to be
as much as 10 x characters apart. That's just ridiculous if you ask me.
So the question is really how can Netbeans be tweaked to display Fixed
Width Fonts in columns matching the font widths.
Best wishes ...

Hi!
I'm using "Office Code Pro" size 12 for the editor and "Tahoma" size 12 for
the default font (menus, ...).
Best regards,

It would be pretty extraordinary for something to be doing that to
monospace fonts. It would have to be some kind of very deliberate
feature ("auto-kerning"?) which would be generating a lot of complaints
more broadly. I'm suspicious about your tabs / spaces. Could some
setting there being doing something you don't expect? Could your 46 and
49 be including one or more tab? Have you tried turning on "show
unprintable characters."

Better added to netbeans/etc/netbeans.conf - it's what it's there for.

Hi all on List ...
The setting:
- *-J-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSetting**s=on*
*Is-the solution*. Font changes show little improvement. This setting
works for:
- Java 1.8, Java 11 (Oracle) and Graal v1.0
- Neteans 8.2 and 9.0
Essentially I think it is handled almost OK on Windows without the
option. Everyone on Linux has seen the problem. One guy on Bohdi was
satisfied although things don't line-up. Gnome seemed to ebe the main
offender.
Anyway adopt the switch!!
:-)

On my machine (Debian Stretch) all font spacing (and rendering) problems
disappear using this command to start netbeans:
netbeans -J-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on
For convenience, this can be added to the command line at the end of the
/netbeans/bin/netbeans shell script.
That said, Noto Mono (https://www.google.com/get/noto/) has been working
very well for me. The example above works with or without the altered
command line, but looks nicer with it.
I'm a php guy so I can't vouch for the Java editor. No idea if that
makes a difference.
Regards,
Steve
