After opening and closing Netbeans a few times the font sizes are still inconsistent, but now they are different. it is as if the fontsize instruction is reaching different parts of the IDE at different times. In some cases, menu items that had adopted the revised font size have now forgotten it. Windows that did not use the specified font size are now doing so.

If noticed the same problem. Tried it with Nimbus laf, which makes the problem 
reprodicible. When I tried the same with the Metal laf, the problem appeared to be gone. For my purpose, this is an acceptable workarround, but nimbus is my preferred laf.
