Depending on a lot of version numbers, you may have to pass
-Dswing.aatext=true
-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on
to your JVM. I don't know why the default is "ugly 1990s-style", but those settings made Netbeans usable for me (for long enough to discover I still prefer Eclipse, except for the profiler).
- gojomo 15y agoTrying Oracle's JDK often helps with such things, as well.
