Changing the default font, whilst changes the code font, does not change the text font in many of the other windows that may be open such as: - Ruby Test Results - Output - Watches - Local Variables If the intention is for the 'default font' not to change these windows, then there is a usability issue in terms of how you would for such windows, and potentially a bigger issue that it is not possible (i.e. I couldn't see a way to do it in the IDE settings)
Reassigning to ruby.
This is not specific to the Ruby IDE but is a more general issue (applies e.g. to the output window, and in fact to all the windows except for the editor window AFAICT), so passing back to the ide component. To the reporter, in case you're just trying to adjust the font size, as a workaround you can start the IDE with the -- fontsize switch, e.g. <nb install dir>/bin/netbeans --fontsize 14 (see also http://wiki.netbeans.org/FaqFontSize).
reproducible with 6.7m3. see attached screenshots from 6.1 and 6.7 started with --fontsize 24 (valid size for some east languages, also always legal from a11y position). It may be p2 issue.
Created attachment 80110 [details] all except editor have new font size, edior ize can be changed with options
Created attachment 80111 [details] only editor have new size in 6.5/6.7
Guys, not sure this belongs to you but I guess so ... don't hesitate to pass back to IDE if not.
As far as I konw the default font is related only to code in editor. Others font changes can be done by --fontsize or by changing laf
not sure what mean initial submitter by "default font", but in third comment and in my comment it means "--fontsize" option usage.
