---------------------------------
Thank you for your thoroughly inquiry! After enabling ClearType it looks fine
for me.
> Font style regression: badly readable font style
> ------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: NETBEANS-6358
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-6358
> Project: NetBeans
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: editor - Navigation, ide - UI, java - Navigation
> Affects Versions: 12.6
> Environment: NB 12.6
> Win10
> Reporter: S. M.
> Assignee: Eirik Bakke
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: ClearType Tahoma vs. Segoe.png, NetBeans 12.6 Project
> Font on Windows 11.png, bold.png, regular.png
>
>
> 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 had unsaved changes, which seems to be a good
> thing to me.
> It might seem to be a 'minor' problem, but the font as part of the
> ergonomically usability is quite important.
> Thanks a lot!
> Here the comparison:
> Bulky and badly readable: New bold style
> !bold.png!
> Clear and readable: Old regular style
> !regular.png!
