Re: v12.4 Fonts wrong

2021-06-25 Thread Bradley Willcott

Hi.

Thanks Peter.  Had a look.  None of the files mentioned exists in my 
OpenJDK 15.0.2 implementation.


However.  As far as NB 12.4 is concerned, I have a workaround:

 * Tools -> Options -> Appearance -> Look & Feel (tab):
 o Preferred look and feel: "Nimbus" or "Dark Nimbus"  <== Fixes
   font problems for Menus and dialogs, etc.
 * Tools -> Options -> Fonts & Colors -> Syntax (tab):
 o Language: "All Languages"
 o Category: "Default"
 o Font: "Noto Sans Mono 12"  <== Change to this or some other font
   of your choice - Don't leave it to the "Factory Setting" default.
 * Tools -> Options -> Miscellaneous -> Output (tab):
 o Font: "Noto Sans Mono 12"  <== Change to this or some other font
   of your choice - Don't leave it to the "Factory Setting" default.

It might be worth the effort for someone in the know, to look into the 
difference between how the "Nimbus" themes handle the various font 
settings and how the other themes that don't work properly do it.  Maybe 
these other themes could be updated to use a similar font usage 
methodology.  Relying on the JDK/OS to provide default fonts may not be 
a good idea anymore.


I found that the problem was bigger than I first thought.  It also 
affected another program I use: "Rational Plan".  Haven't solved that 
one yet.  What concerns me more though, is how many other programs will 
be affected.


Regards,
Brad.

Hello,

I got problems with fonts on Linux, too, with NB 12.4 running on Java 16.

I'm not sure, if the following article is related:
https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/16/intl/font-configuration-files.html 



Especially, the following statement:
"For Linux, the Oracle JDK is moving away from providing custom font
configuration files on Linux platforms, as they are difficult to keep up
to date across distributions and versions."

Kind regards
Peter

Hi.

Some more info.

I went through all the standard themes and found that only the
*Nimbus* and *Dark Nimbus* themes provided an override to the small
italicised fonts.  However, as you can see in the attached screenshot,
even that did not fix the problem in the editor or the output windows.

Any thoughts/ideas on fixing this?

Thank you,
Brad.

v12.4 Fonts wrong

2021-06-23 Thread Bradley Willcott

Hi there.

I have just installed Netbeans 12.4 on a new computer.  Here is the info 
from the Netbeans About box:


*Product Version:* /Apache NetBeans IDE 12.4/
*Java:* /15.0.2; OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM 15.0.2+7-27/
*Runtime:* /OpenJDK Runtime Environment 15.0.2+7-27/
*System:* /Linux version 5.12.11-300.fc34.x86_64 running on amd64; 
UTF-8; en_AU (nb)/

*User directory:* //home/bwillcott/.netbeans/12.4/
*Cache directory:* //home/bwillcott/.cache/netbeans/12.4/

The problem is that all the menus, etc. are using a small Italicised 
font, which makes it very difficult to use.  I have used NB 12.1 with no 
similar problems on another Linux system.


Where would this setting be?  Why is it different from 12.1?

Please see the attached file.

Thank you,
Brad.
