Resize netbeans font size GUI in Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric

Submitted by admin on Tue, 11/01/2011 - 14:45

Installing Netbeans in Ubuntu may create problem in GUI fonts. Seems system fonts size doesn't affect with netbeans GUI.
We can make font smaller by editing netbeans.conf. In this example, i use netbeans 6.9.1 which located in "/home/ubuntu/netbeans-6.9.1".

So, i edit "/home/ubuntu/netbeans-6.9.1/etc/netbeans.conf" and add this into "netbeans_default_options" :

-J-Dswing.aatext=true -J-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on --laf javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel

Restart your netbeans and you should got font fixed!

It worked like charm, and I tried it on version 7.1.1

(still figuring out about the smoothness)
Thanks a lot
