You can run NetBeans on JDK 11 13 or 14 and still be able to work on
Java 8 projects., just add the Java 8 platform into Tools > Java Platforms.

try upgrading to a newer open JDK version since we're going to head
that direction anyway soon.
I'll try the other suggestions if that doesn't work but I'd prefer not
to hard code anything if possible since I connect various external
displays of varying sizes as well and hard coding any settings
including forcing the font size doesn't translate automatically with
other displays.

I have a Dell Precision 7720 laptop with the same issue. In
Windows 10, you can adjust the scaling behavior for individual
apps. Right-click on the shortcut for the app, select the
“Compatibility” tab, and then click “Change high DPI settings” and
switch between “System” and “Application”. See the screenshot
below. I’m still running NB 8.2, and this is how I deal with the
scaling issue when I travel and am using the laptop display
instead of external monitors. See the screenshot below.
Thank You!

*Subject:* Font scaling on High Res displays
I got a new Dell Precision 5540 laptop through work that is
running a native resolution of 3840 x 2160 on a 15" screen.
Windows defaults to 250% scaling to make text and icons readable
at this resolution.
However, Netbeans project/source views don't seem to detect/honor
the scaling settings and it is literally unreadable except with a
magnifying glass. The tool bar seems to honor the system
scaling/font settings. I can also change the editor text size but
it does nothing for the project/Files/Services view nor the
output/debug windows.
Enabling "Maximize use of native look and feel" didn't help. Is
there another setting I'm missing or do I just need to change the
resolution?
Thanks!
