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?
yes there would be, that was why I was asking :)
the launcher has special cases for some high dpi and font AA mode
settings. (open the bin/netbeans script and scroll down)
main challenge would be to detect when this is needed and when not. I
suppose this isn't something to enable by default on linux.

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.
