   the `default` category maybe can change most font settings, the 'inherited' 
word maybe indicates that.
   
   And i have installed a font names 'source code pro', downloaded from google 
font. It is a variable font, such as `source code pro extralight`, `source code 
pro regular`, `source code pro bold`. Font detail from windows settings as:

   I found that Netbeans seems like it cant recognize other **source code pro** 
fonts, it can only see the first of them ordered by some rules, in my case , it 
is `source code pro extralight`, maybe sort by Windows internal feature or 
something ,i don't know much about this.
   
   i tried to export configuration to a zip file, and replace the file content 
contains `source code pro extralight` to `source code pro regular`, and re-zip 
directories what extracted before, import it back, and Netbeans report `invalid 
zip file ***`, maybe the font i expect couldn't work or re-zip has errors?
   
   # Compare to Eclipse font chooser

   # Suggest
   
   If it possible, Netbeans could support font which is a variable font, the 
font list could list them all, or the font style could do the same thing.
   
   I guess there is another solution for making font that i want to use works, 
that is uninstall other `source code pro` font, leave the one i prefer, maybe 
netbeans could see it.
   
   
   ### Use case/motivation
   
   - Use variable font, if i installed a variable font, how can i use one of 
them?
   - The font list doesn't contains what i expect to use.
