make first entry in netbeans.conf  like so netbeans_default_options="--fontsize 16

Not --fontsize=16

No equals (=)

User directory
Cache directory.

Rename those two directories or delete those two if not needed for a fresh install.

Probably because you're using the same user directory over and over again. Change the name of the user directory in netbeans.conf to something different so that a new user directory is created.

        If the default size is 37, then there's something wrong
        somewhere -- maybe system wide settings outside NetBeans, I
        don't know. I've never heard of this problem. But you can go
        to etc/netbeans.conf in your installation directory (i.e., not
        your user directory) and add --fontsize=16 or something
        similar in your default_options setting there. And maybe
        there's a network issue of some kind preventing the download
        of nb-javac.

            huge font and IDE hung on opening them.

            I killed it and removed userdir again and restarted. Now I
            said ‘No’ on importing settings. Nothing in the project
            list but messages are in this enormous font. I opened
            Options->Fonts&Colors and see that default font is size 37
            (Urgh…) I changed it to size 12 and tried to open one of
            my projects. It appeared in the project list in huge font.
            I restarted IDE again, but nothing helps.

            Regarding nb-javac plugin – it is not downloading. See
            attached snapshot.

            Plus with the font problem, start with a fresh user
            directory and see if the problem persists.

                nb-javac caused some issues in 11.2 which were

                If you are running NetBeans on Java 8, then nb-javac
                is mandatory. Java toolset changed a lot since that,
                so if you running NetBeans on Java 11 or up you can
                avoid installing nb-javac

                    While version 11.1 was working well for me, 11.2
                    behaved quite erratically.

                    Deleting user directory did not help, so I have
                    decided to reinstall it not from the installer,
                    but from the binary ZIP archive (Like I did with
                    11.1).

                    I did remove installation and unpacked the ZIP file.

                    Netbeans started, but that was the end of good news.

                    It displayed project list and messages with
                    unbearably huge fonts and stuck on opening
                    projects and updating plugins. See the snapshot.
                    What do I need to do to make it work properly?

                    Please advise.

                    Also I remember, that nb-javac plugin is not
                    needed for 11.2. Why does it want to install this
                    plugin.
