That won't work for multi-monitor situations where one monitor is HiDPI and one is not--the window would appear twice as large (in physical inches) if you dragged it from the HiDPI screen to the regular screen. Are you on Windows, Linux, or MacOS? Both on Windows and MacOS, Java 10 has very good support for per-monitor HiDPI scaling, implemented at the AWT level. > Of course fonts will look fuzzy when zoomed - you are making the logical > pixels take up more than one physical pixel. I believe Christian Lenz was talking about the Windows "Scale and layout" setting, for which this is _not_ quite correct. The fonts will look perfectly sharp, provided you use Java 10 and the workaround for the missing NetBeans launcher manifest (see NETBEANS-1227). Every Graphics2D object will have a defaultTransform that ensures that text and other Java2D graphics primitives are rendered at twice (or 150% etc.) the pixel resolution, without Java apps having to do anything in particular to support it. If a window is dragged to another screen, the FontRenderContext and defaultTransform changes to whatever HiDPI scaling setting is set for that screen, and the window repaints at the new scaled resolution. Same for MacOS retina displays. -- Eirik -----Original Message----- From: Tim Boudreau <niftin...@gmail.com> Sent: Friday, September 7, 2018 1:48 PM To: dev@netbeans.incubator.apache.org Subject: Re: Blurry font with NetBeans 9.0 Add --fontsize 24 (or whatever size works) to your netbeans.conf and turn off zoom. Of course fonts will look fuzzy when zoomed - you are making the logical pixels take up more than one physical pixel. There are a couple of system properties that may be useful to tell AWT as well. I have been running NetBeans for years on a high dpi screen. Zoom is not the solution. -Tim On Fri, Sep 7, 2018 at 10:21 AM Eirik Bakke <eba...@ultorg.com> wrote: > I have added https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-1227 to > indicate that the NetBeans launcher should eventually declare itself > as DPI-aware, like JDKs javaw.exe already does. > > -- Eirik > > -----Original Message----- > From: Eirik Bakke <eba...@ultorg.com> > Sent: Friday, September 7, 2018 9:48 AM > To: dev@netbeans.incubator.apache.org > Subject: RE: Blurry font with NetBeans 9.0 > > Hi, Christian. > > I have NetBeans 9.0 running very well on a Windows 10 HiDPI screen at > either 150% or 200% scaling.
