Eirik Bakke commented on NETBEANS-6358:
---------------------------------------
Which Java version is NetBeans running on, for each of the two screenshots? And
which old NetBeans version are you comparing against? I'd like to be able to
reproduce this on my own machine...
The old/new difference seems to be that anti-aliasing was disabled previously
and is now enabled. The bug might actually be that anti-aliasing was _not_
previously enabled, which might have been fixed by
https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/3116 .
I'm wondering how your old NetBeans version ended up without anti-aliasing.
Have you customized netbeans.conf at any point? I also see that you have
disabled ClearType. If you type "ClearType" in the start menu search bar and
select "Adjust ClearType Text", and enable ClearType, and then restart
NetBeans, I suspect you will see better results.
> Font style regression: badly readable font style
> ------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: NETBEANS-6358
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-6358
> Project: NetBeans
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: editor - Navigation, ide - UI, java - Navigation
> Affects Versions: 12.6
> Environment: NB 12.6
> Win10
> Reporter: S. M.
> Assignee: Eirik Bakke
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: bold.png, regular.png
>
>
> The font style changed in 12.6 in a way that makes it less readable. The
> following fonts are bold now:
> - The name of the source files in the source-code-tab
> - The project names in the projects windows (and all its child nodes)
> This bulky use of bold fonts makes the text badly readable. Please use a
> regular font instead! The source-code names in the source-window-tab used to
> be bold only when the file had unsaved changes, which seems to be a good
> thing to me.
> It might seem to be a 'minor' problem, but the font as part of the
> ergonomically usability is quite important.
> Thanks a lot!
> Here the comparison:
> Bulky and badly readable: New bold style
> !bold.png!
> Clear and readable: Old regular style
> !regular.png!
