timboudreau commented on issue #1415: Post-install appearance of NetBeans on Linux with high dpi display is awful URL: https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/1415#issuecomment-520244025 A big chunk of the problem here is how many fingers there are in the resolution pie: * Monitor firmware may or may not be reporting a broken value to the kernel * User may or may not [have overridden it](https://www.96boards.org/documentation/consumer/dragonboard/dragonboard410c/guides/force-display-res.md.html) * X configuration may or may not try to adjust it further * Different JDKs do different things to try and fix it The alternative is, on first start, run a UI that modifies the netbeans.conf - I've actually got that written, before I said to myself "This is insane, you should be able to figure it out on startup" - one that simply shows a bunch of examples for font size, and then for LCD settings, and says "which one looks better?" and lets the user pick. I'll throw that up on Github and link it here. It's not as nice as solving the problem automagically, but it's better than the IDE looking like complete crap for a new user.
