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

[Geertjan Wielenga]

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.

Re: Font too small

[Amn]

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.

Font too small

I am using NB15 under Debian 11, after an update, or so I think, the

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?
