Font too small
I am using NB15 under Debian 11, after an update, or so I think, the
font of the NB45 app became too small, (looks like the one in Eclipse)
and it is to hard to read. I remember editing a file, this is a long
time ago, to increase the size of the font used by NB, anyone knows of
this?
Thanks in advance.

What is "the app itself"? An application on the NetBeans Platform? A
web application? A PHP application? If it is a NetBeans Platform based
application, the file to configure the font is in etc/xxx.conf, e.g.,
etc/netbeans.conf or whatever the name of that file is for your
application.

First in foremost my apology, the font I am referring to is the font of
the app itself, and not the editor. I know, I was not clear enough
regarding this. Second, in Linux Debian 11 it is a bit different than
MSWin, and yes I am new to the Linux world.
Thanks though, it is nice to know that there is someone listening.

yes there would be, that was why I was asking :)
the launcher has special cases for some high dpi and font AA mode
settings. (open the bin/netbeans script and scroll down)
main challenge would be to detect when this is needed and when not. I
suppose this isn't something to enable by default on linux.

Re: Font too small
Posted by negora <pu...@negora.com>.
I've just tested NetBeans IDE with OpenJDK 19.0.1+10 (a build from
Eclipse Temurin), and it still seems to be using an old version of
FreeType. I believe so because the font rendering is still horrible if
you don't set the "FREETYPE_PROPERTIES" variable. I don't understand why
in 2022 they still don't use version 40 (if that's the cause, of course).
I also use that setting with other applications based on Swing, such as
WizTools.org REST Client and SoapUI, and the result is very noticeable
(for better).
I hope not to transform this thread in a feature request but... Is there
a way so that NetBeans can do this adjustment by itself, without the
need of setting an environment variable?
Thank you.

interesting.
Since it was filed against JDK 11.0.5 which was a few updates ago. Was
it not fixed/backported since then? A lot of those linked JDK bugs are
marked resolved.

Besides editing the "$NETBEANS_HOME/etc/netbeans.conf" file (to add the
"--fonsize" parameter), I recommend you setting the
"FREETYPE_PROPERTIES" environment variable to your taste, while invoking
NetBeans.
I also use Debian 11 and I've seen that the font rendering looks better
(at least to me), with the following command:
FREETYPE_PROPERTIES='truetype:interpreter-version=40'
"$NETBEANS_HOME/bin/netbeans"
Best regards.
PS: I first heard about this parameter when I reported an issue about
Adoptium ( https://github.com/adoptium/adoptium-support/issues/50 ).
