Description Milan Kubec 2005-08-23 12:41:34 UTC 
[dev-200508221800, JDK 1.5.0_04]

Font for line numbers gutter is not derived from editor font anymore. It means
that after changing editor font the UI of Editor looks a bit inconsistent. See
attached screenshot.

Comment 2 Martin Roskanin 2005-08-23 12:50:46 UTC 
It is designed behaviour following UI spec:
http://ui.netbeans.org/docs/ui/editor/gutter/glyphgutter-foldingbar.html

"Line numbers are displayed always using the default black Monospace font,
in-depended on the fonts used in the Editor. The size of line number characters
must be always 1 pt smaller against the font size used in the Editor (e.g. if
the Editor use the font size 12 pt, line numbers are displayed using size 11 pt)."
Comment 3 Milan Kubec 2005-08-23 15:14:25 UTC 
Well, I'm glad that we follow UI specs, it's always good to do that. BUT. If the
author of the spec would use different platform than Mac and different font face
than default and different font size than default he would surely find out how
ugly the editor actually is with those settings. If you don't accept this as
issue against editor UI, please reassign to author of the UI Spec.
Comment 4 Martin Roskanin 2005-08-23 16:46:53 UTC 
BTW, you can customize the font, forecolor, backcolor of glyph gutter:
Tools/Options/Editing/Editor Settings/Java Editor/FontsColors/Glyph and Line
Number Margin...

Ruda, Jano what's your opinion?
Comment 5 Milan Kubec 2005-08-24 08:26:24 UTC 
I see, then it's a bug. See screenshot, it shows that when I inherit font
settings from Default it doesn't work as expected. I tried to uncheck Inherit
and then it works as expected. I think that after this works we can close the
issue, main problem for me was that I wasn't able to change the font.

The Fonts&Colors was removed from the "Advanced options" view so now only the FG
and BG color can be changed under
Options->Fonts&Colors->Highlighting->LineNumber so this issue becomes valid again.
