I did a little debugging off-list with Jonathan--the problem was running NetBeans on Java 8.
For proper HiDPI support on Windows 10, the IDE should be run on at least Java 9--preferably a more recent version. This solved the problem. There was indeed szome changes in this area in 11.3, but they are bugfixes which, assuming the user is running a Java version that supports HiDPI, should make things better, not works: https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/1777 Perhaps we should detect people running Java 8 on Windows systems with HiDPI enabled, and show a warning in this case. -- Eirik From: Jonathan Mills <jonathan.n.mi...@gmail.com> Sent: Sunday, March 15, 2020 11:03 AM To: Jean-Claude Dauphin <jc.daup...@gmail.com> Cc: users@netbeans.apache.org Subject: Re: 11.3 - font size much smaller Thanks for the suggestion Jean-Claude. As you say this changes the other fonts.

So small I can hardly read it. With 11.2 if I fullsized the window I get 39 lines of code displayed in the editor (and legible) With 11.3 it's 84 lines, and too small to read comfortably! I'm guessing something has changed in this release to make it ignore the Windows' Display Setting "Scale", but I can't see a setting to manipulate the size? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@netbeans.apache.org<mailto:users-unsubscr...@netbeans.apache.org> For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@netbeans.apache.org<mailto:users-h...@netbeans.apache.org> For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists -- Jean-Claude Dauphin jc.daup...@gmail.com<mailto:jc.daup...@gmail.com> https://github.com/J-ISIS http://www.greenstone.org
