I tried netbeans 5.5 and 6.0 on Gentoo and FreeBSD previously with no problem, So I guess it's a OPENBSD issue with netbeans, also searching in Google about "netbeans ouput font problem" only returns result with OpenBSD. I didn't try to reproduce problems on another machine but for me steps were like this: 1- using -current on i386 2- sudo pkg_add -v jdk-1.7.0.00b43p0 3- sudo pkg_add -v netbeans 4- create a java project on netbeans and edit and compile few times.
But problems with netbeans seems to be growing, after few hours of working It's very slow and hangs when I try to delete files from project, also starting netbeans with my default project takes 3 to 5 minutes! (In loading Modules ... ) I guess I have to use eclipse.
