Description Johnny 2004-12-09 00:09:07 UTC 
The filesystem sidebar in Netbeans on Mac OS X uses quite a 
large font size, much larger than the titles int the tabs, or 
anywhere else. 

The paths to the systems can never be displayed in total, and 
even some long file names don't fit in the sidebar, even when it 
is over 200 pixels wide.
Comment 1 Petr Nejedly 2004-12-09 13:50:30 UTC 
IIRC Tim did something special with fonts on Mas OS
Comment 2 _ tboudreau 2004-12-09 17:37:27 UTC 
Probably what we should actually do is use the standard (larger) Mac-
OS font size for all components in NetBeans, rather than tweaking it 
down to the smaller standard size that matches what we do on other 
platforms.

Of course, this will make the problem in question worse, but 
starting with -fontsize 11 will fix it.
Comment 3 _ tboudreau 2005-12-13 13:41:39 UTC 
Fonts on mac os were made self consistent for NetBeans 4.0 - system fonts are 
used consistently everywhere;  I should have closed this issue then.
Comment 4 Marian Mirilovic 2005-12-20 16:02:56 UTC 
This issue was solved long time ago. Because nobody has reopened it neither
added comments, we are verifying/closing it now. 
If you are still able to reproduce the problem, please reopen. 

Thanks in advance.
