Product Version = NetBeans IDE 8.2 (Build 201609300101) Operating System = Windows 10 version 10.0 running on amd64 Java; VM; Vendor = 1.8.0_121 Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 25.121-b13 Reproducibility: Happens every time STEPS: * Add -fontsize 16 to netbeans.conf * Restart Netbeans ACTUAL: * Menubar font has increased, menu item fonts have not in majority of cases. Exception: View Menu, Items below 'Toolbars' item. Have not explored sub menus. * Font size has not increased in Projects, Files, Services and Navigator Windows EXPECTED: All font sizes to have increased.
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.
