linux, jdk 1.5.0 b49, IDE from CVS 2004-05-04 $ netbeans --fontsize 30 The code editor uses the big font size but menus, explorer, etc ignore it.
This can't be fixed - our mechanism of specifying a font size is by putting custom fonts into UIDefaults. Synth/Gtk look and feel does not use UIDefaults to get fonts. The only way to alter what fonts it uses is to change the desktop font/theme. The best we could achieve here is an ugly mix of custom font size for our custom components, and whatever Gtk wants to use for the rest. That would be worse than not supporting -fontsize on Gtk look and feel. Short of lobbying the Swing folks to go back to using UIDefaults for these things in GTK, there is no way to solve this on our end. Sorry.
I am okay with not fixing this. Added RELNOTE keyword
Added some code to core/Main to log a warning if NetBeans is started on GTK L&F with -- fontsize.
