Description cgd 2013-07-17 10:27:33 UTC 
Product Version = NetBeans IDE 7.3 (Build 201306052037)
Operating System = Linux version 3.8.0-26-generic running on amd64
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.7.0_25
Runtime = OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM 23.7-b01

I'm using Netbeans on Ubuntu 13.04 with Unity. About a week ago the native look and feel suddenly stopped working. Now menus and fonts are back to the Java Defaults. And yes, the Option to max native L&F in Misc -> Windows is ticked :-)

Netbeans not using the native L&F

As you can see the java default font is used all over the place again.

Thanks for the screen shot.
If you start NetBeans with --laf GTK command line switch does it work then?
Also, can you please try with Oracle JDK 1.7?

Please provide the requested info and reopen, thanks.
Comment 6 cgd 2013-09-03 07:22:11 UTC 
I tried it using the command line switch and it worked. But actually it seems a bit erratic because currently it's working fine regardless how I start the IDE; be it from the CLI or the Unity Dash, with or w/o the --laf GTK switch.

Sorry, seems I currently cannot reproduce the bug :-(
Comment 7 Stanislav Aubrecht 2013-09-03 07:25:39 UTC 
Closing as not reproducible.
