Laszlo Kishalmi commented on NETBEANS-346:
------------------------------------------
It could happen that the Mac default monospace font has interesting measures.
As there is a workaround on this issue, I doubt that it would be critical.
We could make the Lucida font (as it comes with the JRE) default on every
platform by default, to avoid such issues.
> Tabs, characters, and the right Margin don't line up

> When the Right Margin is set at 80 chars, it is drawn at 8*2* chars. This is
> annoying because I have a 1440x900 screen that I split vertically in to two.
> This results in two editing areas that are about 80 chars wide. I could see
> the margin line in both editors when scrolled all the way to the left. Since
> Netbeans (9.0 beta) is now drawing them at char 8*2*, it is not possible to
> size those editors so I can see the line in both windows and it is driving me
> crazy.
> This is a first world issue at the moment, but you might find code coming
> from mac programmers coming in two or more chars too wide in the Netbeans
> source code.
