Thanks.

Tomas,
If you could attach also screenshot of working NetBeans IDE in such configuration then it would be fine as well.

Thanks,
Dmitry

thanks!
Comment 7 dlipin 2008-08-08 17:54:22 UTC
I was able to achieve the same result by setting screen resolution to 120 DPI. 
But in that case NetBeans also has big fonts and does not look like at your screenshot.
What DPI do you have? DPI can be checked/set using System->Preferences->Appearance->Fonts->Details(button)
Could you please make the screenshot of the Fonts settings panel (System->Preferences->Appearance->Fonts)?
Comment 8 dlipin 2008-08-08 18:02:01 UTC
could you please also attach the latest installation log from ~/.nbi/log?
does it occur with metal L&F? 
./netbeans-6.5beta-linux.sh --look-and-feel  javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel
Comment 9 Tomas Danek 2008-08-11 12:53:23 UTC
1) well, i KDE as a desktop manager and I could not found  explicit DPI of font - the only option is to use default or
force DPI: 96DPI or 120DPI or default (default is set in my case).
2) attaching logs from installer
3) when running installer with Metal LnF,everything looks fine.

Comment 11 Tomas Danek 2008-08-12 08:24:18 UTC
would be nice to be fixed in 6.5...if fixable..
Comment 12 dlipin 2008-08-12 12:11:14 UTC
if I found a way, at least, to reproduce it... :)

Does it occur on any other JDK?
netbeans-6.5beta-linux.sh --javahome /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk
netbeans-6.5beta-linux.sh --javahome /space/jdk1.6.0_04
netbeans-6.5beta-linux.sh --javahome /space/jdk1.5.0_15

Tomas,

could you please run the attached jar and attach its output to this issue?
(when UI is shown, you can close it - and the process ends).

Thanks,
dmitry
Comment 15 Tomas Danek 2008-08-14 17:13:24 UTC
