Description Jesse Glick 2002-07-22 06:30:15 UTC 
[release34 jul 16] See screenshot, pretty much
self-explanatory. org.netbeans.core.Main.run()
sets a bunch of UI font defaults, but not this one
- forgotten I guess.

Not clear how it should work though - default
acceleratorFont is Dialog Plain 10 whereas default
font is Dialog Bold 12. If you consider the base
font size in Swing to be 12 by default, and we set
-fontsize to e.g. 11, what should acceleratorFont
be set to? D.P.10 seems right with -fontsize 11.
It seems wrong with -fontsize 18. Should it be
some proportion? Rounded how? Etc.

Themes (issue #25472) would provide a more
coherent solution than -fontsize I think, since
you could select particular font sizes for each usage.

Comment 7 Jesse Glick 2002-12-03 16:38:27 UTC 
Maxym, potential 3.4.1_CANDIDATE (easy one-line fix): could be an
accessibility issue for users with poor eyesight, should it be
considered for 3.4.1?

Jesse, sorry, I missed your letter,
Yes, it's too easy not to include into Merak
