Description bobbyn 2009-06-14 04:01:24 UTC 
I am using NetBeans IDE 6.5.1 with Java v1.6.0_11

Currently, given by the instructions in the Help Documentation - open the Help Viewer "Help > Help Contents" and
navigate the "Contents" tab to:

IDE Basics > Configuring the IDE > Accessibility > Setting Font and Color for the Help Viewer

you have to modify the "ide.css" file manually to change the font display settings (i.e. font & colour) for Help Viewer
content and other related help content such as the IDE Editor inline Javadoc viewer (activate it by placing cursor on
Java API class/method and execute Ctrl+Shift+Space or use option "Show Documentation" from "Source" menu).

Instead of textually changing the "ide.css" file, a feature could be included as part of the standard IDE UI options for
streamlined help display properties access and modification -> there could be a "Help Doc" tab under

Tools > Options > Fonts & Colors
