Re: please recommend Linux Font for Netbeans on Linux

[* William]

Hi all on List ...

The setting:

   - *-J-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSetting**s=on*

*Is-the solution*.  Font changes show little improvement.  This setting
works for:

   - Java 1.8, Java 11 (Oracle) and Graal v1.0
   - Neteans 8.2 and 9.0

Essentially I think it is handled almost OK on Windows without the
option.   Everyone on Linux has seen the problem.  One guy on  Bohdi was
satisfied although things don't line-up.  Gnome seemed to ebe the main
offender.

Anyway adopt the switch!!

:-)

Sorry but my input may not have been too helpful after all. It seems I'm 
still using JDK1.8 and Netbeans 8.1.

Are you using OpenJDK 11?

It would be pretty extraordinary for something to be doing that to 
monospace fonts. It would have to be some kind of very deliberate 
feature ("auto-kerning"?) which would be generating a lot of complaints 
more broadly. I'm suspicious about your tabs / spaces. Could some 
setting there being doing something you don't expect? Could your 46 and 
49 be including one or more tab? Have you tried turning on "show 
unprintable characters."

I'm running Netbeans 9 on Ubuntu 18.10 and using the JDK 11.  for 
contrast on the command line in terminal, everything lines-up with al 
lthe fixed fonts I've tested.  Including Courier 10


Same fonts in Netbeans are all over the place.  It is a mess.  No 
matter which "Look and Feel" I use.


Does someone know a fixed font that works in netbbeans so that this 
example lines up:


 1 2
123456789*123456789*

That's using the Gmail fixed font setting.  10 spaces in is a "1".  
This is all ove rthe pace with netbeans.  I don't think there's reason 
for that except no one cared to make it work.  VS Code manages to work OK.

Hi Gregor,

Thanks for your comment.  Bassed on my trails with different Fixed

are from VS Code:


  * https://itnext.io/11-best-programming-fonts-724283a9ed57

The screen shot I provided was using "Courier 10", which seems to 
famoulsy work (virtually) everywhere else.  And yet on two different 
lines in netbeans  the Display of the variable name both in column 41 
appears to be as much as 10 x characters apart.  That's just 
ridiculous if you ask me.


So the question is really how can Netbeans be tweaked to display Fixed 
Width Fonts in columns matching the font widths.


Best wishes ...

Better added to netbeans/etc/netbeans.conf - it's what it's there for.
