Is it possible to enlarge the font of the Netbeans screens themselves (not the editor font)?
I tried to find a reference to "font" in the menu-items "Tools" and "Window"
You can change the "system font size" (menus, dialogs etc) using the command line parameter --fontsize when starting NetBeans, e.g. --fontsize 14

I have a problem on writing and printing out amharic character in netbeans ide, when I try to print out on the system the netbeans ide doesn't display them correctly instead it displays boxs, any one can help me pls?
The language code is 'am' and country is ET (ETHIOPIA).THANK YOU
NetBeans needs a font that supports Amharic in its editor window and Output window. I tried a few of the widely used fonts in NetBeans but (surprisingly) they all rendered Amharic characters as empty rectangles, so I found one that explicitly supports Amharic: Abyssinica SIL
I downloaded that font as an EXE file (use the ZIP file for Linux) and ran it to install the font in Windows. Then I restarted NetBeans and changed its default font to Abyssinica SIL:
Select Options from the Tools menu and click the Fonts & Colors icon.
On the Syntax tab click the ellipsis (...) button to the right of the Font field and choose the Abyssinica SIL font you just installed, and click OK.
The NetBeans editor will use that font immediately, and correctly display Amharic text in the editor window.
However, Amharic text in the Output window will still be rendered as empty rectangles. To fix that:
Download the ZIP file for Abyssinica SIL.
In the NetBeans Ouput window right click and select Settings... from the popup menu to open the Options window, click the Miscellaneous icon, and then click the Output tab.
Click the Import... button, click the Browse... button and choose the ZIP file you just downloaded: AbyssinicaSIL-1.500.zip. When you click OK to close the Select Options to import window you'll get a scary warning "Import may irreversibly overwrite your current settings..." but click Yes to continue. NetBeans will restart.
After the restart go back to the Options window where you imported the ZIP file, click the Miscellaneous icon, and then click the Output tab. Click the ellipsis (...) button to the right of the Font field and choose the Abyssinica SIL font you just installed and click OK. Amharic text will now render correctly in the Output window.
Here's a simple program and its output to show it works :
Notes:
There's no need to specify country or language to resolve this. However, running the app from the Command Prompt window still renders Amharic as empty rectangles, and the font cannot be changed to Abyssinica SIL. I suspect the solution for that may involve setting the locale appropriately in Windows.
Abyssinica SIL is not a mono-spaced font so only set it as the NetBeans font if you need to enter Amharic text in the NetBeans editor. (I'm sure there are mono-spaced fonts that support Amharic - I just grabbed the first one I found.)
I also tried running the app in Eclipse and Intellij IDEA without any configuration changes. In both cases the Amharic text rendered correctly in the editor. The output also rendered correctly in Eclipse, but as empty rectangles in Intellij IDEA. If you use Amharic text heavily you may want to consider switching to Eclipse.
In netbeans preference(setting) change the font from its default to Nyala. after that the boxes will be changed to Amharic texts.
hope your problem is solved
I need to change eclipse menu size.
also in properties view.
high resolution makes the font so tiny.
I found a way to change package explorer view font size by modifying an eclipse related file in css folder.
eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.ui.themes_1.1.1.v20151026-1355\css
but how to change "IDE menu" font size in eclipse?
also how to change "Properties view" or auto complete (control+space menu) font size in eclipse?
I searched every where for an answer for this question.
I had the same question, my Eclipse uses GTK so I tried to change the font size via the Kubuntu system settings and it worked. It applies also to pop-up hints in Eclipse.
How can I change the Eclipse GUI font size?
For instance, I would like to make the font for "Project Explorer" or "Members" smaller.
Reiterating #Vitor De Mario answer with few more screenshots.
I use Eclipse IDE for Enterprise Java Developers Version: 2020-09 (4.17.0) on MacOS Catalina. The font size of Eclipse package explorer was very small and hard to read.
You can change it through eclipse preferences (shortcut: Command key + ,)
It looks a lot better now.
I don't know if you can change the font for one specific section. However, you can do it for Eclipse as a whole, in Preferences → General → Appearance → Colors and Fonts → View and Editor Folders, on Part title font and View message font.
Eclipse Project/Package explorer, Outline window are using OS default font for labels.
For Win 7+ go to Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Personalization click 'Window Color' to start 'Window Color and Appearance' dialog.
Decrease 'Message Box' font.
Eclipse restart required
In newer versions of Eclipse this becomes configurable (Tree and Table font for views)
Most of the controls in Eclipse (such as tree views) use native OS widgets. For these, the font face or size cannot be adjusted in Eclipse. You have to adjust it at OS level.
On my mac OS 10.5, in Netbeans 6.7.1, the fonts in my class diagram look very chunky and huge. Can I set the font sizes globally somewhere? I'd like to make them all smaller.
Go to Tools > Options > Font & Colors, and click on th ellipsis button next to Font text box.
