When you set -fontsize parameter the change it is not applied to some fonts in the IDE, example: description in New From Template wizard.
It works by changing UIDefaults for Swing, which apparently has no effect on Swing HTML rendering. Compare also problems with HTML tooltips and node names: works, but the HTML base font is not selected to match that of Swing in general, thus looks crappy. I am not sure if this is really a Swing issue rather than an IDE issue.
Version: 'Dev' -> 3.2
You can change the font size in Tools -> Options -> Web Browsers -> IceBrowser -> font. But, I agree that it isn't intuitive... Changed to enhacement.
Target milestone -> 3.3
related to UI Faces feature (NetBeans 4.0), target milestone changed

-> jrechtacek because this is mostly visible in New From Template Wizard although the problem should be solved for all embedded Swing HTML browsers
No changes planned to 3.6.
It works in NB4.0
