Description nopnb 2009-10-26 09:44:54 UTC 
My desktop is set at 120 dpi and I get blurry fonts in NetBeans (from 6.7 and to 6.8 beta).
NetBeans 6.5 is fine.
NetBeans behaves like an old application for the system, which handle the zooming itself. It happens when the
application doesn't call SetProcessDPIAware().
I've tried all the native rendering NetBeans flags...doesn't really help.
My solution was to check "XP Style DPI Scaling” in the Vista hi-dpi dialog (took me a LOT of time to find it), but I
shouldn't have to.
I didn't need to check it with NetBeans 6.5 .

The regression might be caused by the new launcher, which changed the whole executable structure.

Guys, can you please help me to assign this to the right component? Maybe related to Issue #158778.
