S. M. updated NETBEANS-6358:
----------------------------
    Description: 
The font style changed in 12.6 in a way that makes it less 'readable'. The 
following fonts are bold now: 

- The name of the source files in the source-code-tab 
- The project names in the projects windows (and all its child nodes)

This bulky use of bold fonts makes the text badly readable. Please use a 
regular font instead! The source-code names in the source-window-tab used to be 
bold only when the file have been edited, which seems to be a good thing to me.

It might be a 'minor' problem, but for people working day for day with this IDE 
the font as part of the ergonomically usability is quite important.

Thanks a lot!
