Answer 1

I've found usefull on my laptop to set in netbeans.conf:

-J-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=lcd

"lcd" settings are the best choice for me, if we are talking about fonts in Netbeans on Linux.

You can also change the default look and feel of netbeans instead of using GTK.

You can check if it works lunching Netbeans like this :

netbeans --laf Nimbus

If it works we need to set it as default.

Let's edit the configuration file of netbeans, in my case ~/netbeans-8.2/etc/netbeans.conf.

We find the options part and we add the --laf Nimbus option. In my case the final version is like this one :

netbeans_default_options="-J-client -J-Xss2m -J-Xms32m -J-Dapple.laf.useScreenMenuBar=true -J-Dapple.awt.graphics.UseQuartz=true -J-Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true -J-Dsun.java2d.dpiaware=true -J-Dsun.zip.disableMemoryMapping=true --laf Nimbus"

Now is much more confortable than before.

I solved this problem uninstalling Java Oracle and installing OpenJDK 8. For applying changes, I reinstalled all software/IDE who use Java.
