I've just tested NetBeans IDE with OpenJDK 19.0.1+10 (a build from
Eclipse Temurin), and it still seems to be using an old version of
FreeType. I believe so because the font rendering is still horrible if
you don't set the "FREETYPE_PROPERTIES" variable. I don't understand why
in 2022 they still don't use version 40 (if that's the cause, of course).
I also use that setting with other applications based on Swing, such as
WizTools.org REST Client and SoapUI, and the result is very noticeable
(for better).
I hope not to transform this thread in a feature request but... Is there
a way so that NetBeans can do this adjustment by itself, without the
need of setting an environment variable?
Thank you.

interesting.
Since it was filed against JDK 11.0.5 which was a few updates ago. Was
it not fixed/backported since then? A lot of those linked JDK bugs are
marked resolved.

Besides editing the "$NETBEANS_HOME/etc/netbeans.conf" file (to add
the "--fonsize" parameter), I recommend you setting the
"FREETYPE_PROPERTIES" environment variable to your taste, while
invoking NetBeans.
I also use Debian 11 and I've seen that the font rendering looks
better (at least to me), with the following command:
FREETYPE_PROPERTIES='truetype:interpreter-version=40'
"$NETBEANS_HOME/bin/netbeans"
Best regards.
PS: I first heard about this parameter when I reported an issue about
Adoptium ( https://github.com/adoptium/adoptium-support/issues/50 ).

I am using NB15 under Debian 11, after an update, or so I think, the
font of the NB45 app became too small, (looks like the one in
Eclipse) and it is to hard to read. I remember editing a file, this
is a long time ago, to increase the size of the font used by NB,
anyone knows of this?
Thanks in advance.
