How large is large? I tried 20 and 25 and didn't see any glaring problems with the JSF Compatibility error on the wizard. I tested with: Product Version: NetBeans 6 IDE Dev (Build beta1: 200709260000) System: Windows Vista version 6.0 running on x86; Cp1252; en_US (nb) Java: 1.6.0_03; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.6.0_03-b02 The wizard component doesn't belong to designer. For the visual web page is used the standard one. Created attachment 49609 [details]

1) create web project without frameworks, J2EE 1.4, tomcat 5.5 2) Choose New -> Visual Web Page 3) see screenshot IMHO no problem in font size. Size of wizard panel depends on layout of UI component returned from user wizard iterator. That UI component is responsible for sizing, wizard only takes its preferred size. The only problem what I see is the error message. Wizards API infrastructure allocates only one line for error message. If a user sets more lines into error message then Wizard API cannot guarantee that fits into wizard panel. Assigned back to JSF to don't use too many lines in error message. The message is put in by org.netbeans.modules.visualweb.project.jsf.ui.SimpleTargetChooserPanelGUI, passing there. > Wizards API infrastructure allocates only one line for error message
I think we should enhance this NetBeans general UI. If it allows for using HTML contexts, then resizing or scrolling
should be available, if it's larger than the area.
Since the mesg is not easy to cropped out, I think the workaround is to enlarge the dialog to see the rest just like you
handle the other Windows application when you use large fonts.
If even enlarging is not working (you can't see some contexts) for large font, then it's a bug. Otherwise, we can now
only treats it as an enhancement and depends on the NetBeans general UI.
