在Netbeans中由于使用了Swing進(jìn)行開發(fā)，所以其中界面的字體也是由Java虛擬機(jī)進(jìn)行配置而不是隨操作系統(tǒng)的。在安裝完Netbeans后默認(rèn)的字體大小是11px。而在Windows下的宋體最小支持12px。所以字體為11px就已經(jīng)無法完整顯示了。
netbeans_default_options="-J-client -J-Xss2m -J-Xms32m -J-XX:PermSize=128m -J-XX:MaxPermSize=200m -J-Dnetbeans.logger.console=true -J-ea -J-Dapple.laf.useScreenMenuBar=true -J-Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true"
netbeans_default_options="-J-client -J-Xss2m -J-Xms32m -J-XX:PermSize=128m -J-XX:MaxPermSize=200m -J-Dnetbeans.logger.console=true -J-ea -J-Dapple.laf.useScreenMenuBar=true -J-Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true --fontsize 12"
當(dāng)然，追求完美的人當(dāng)然不會只限于使用Netbeans默認(rèn)的字體。在Netbeans的Tools->Options->Fonts & Colors 可以對Netbeans的字體進(jìn)行設(shè)置。遺憾的是將編輯器的字體設(shè)置為較好看的英文字體時會出現(xiàn)中文顯示為亂碼的情況。解決這個問題的方式是對Java虛擬機(jī)的制定的字體進(jìn)行修改。
打開$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/fontconfig.properties這個文件（如果沒有這個文件則將$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/fontconfig.properties.src改名為$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/fontconfig.properties）。這個文件的大致內(nèi)容如下。其中需要修改的部分也使用高亮進(jìn)行了說明。

monospaced.plain.alphabetic、monospaced.bold.alphabetic...的定義。如果沒有找到則會找allfonts下的定義。
通過這個定義就是說先查找對應(yīng)的alphabetic定義，在顯示中文時如果alphabetic是英文字體則查找下一個chinese-ms936的定義（這里由于monospaced沒有這個定義所有最后匹配的是allfonts.chinese-ms936）。
