[FIXED] Increase the font size of output and menus in NetBeans

Issue

I am using the latest version of NetBeans and I need to increase the font size of output and menus(Not the code part). I tried:

netbeans_default_options=".... --fontsize 16"

But the IDE doesn't startup when I add this to netbeans.conf. Please help me or I would go blind :D

Solution

On Windows 10 editing netbeans.conf (appending the --fontsize 16 to netbeans_default_options) normally should work (at least, it works for me with the latest NetBeans). Another solution is to start netbeans.exe with --fontsize 16 option. For instance, having a shortcut to NetBeans on a desktop, you can modify it in the following fashion: right-click on the shortcut, click Properties, select Shortcut, append to the target line --fontsize 16.
