Here is another example of someone trying to make me go blind. I could not find a way to change the font size of the system controls and menu's in Netbeans. I have been doing my testing in a Windows Virtual machine using VMWare Fusion for the Mac. Well the tiny fonts used for the Project tab and other controls was driving me crazy.
Well it turns out if you go into c:\program files\netbeans 6.0\etc\netbeans.conf you can add the following parameters to the command line that launches the app:
--fontsize 14That seems to fix things up. Now if I could just change the font family too, I'd be in business.

Thanks for the tip. NB really should provide that configuration in the IDE UI. The NB6 font is way too small.
This works in NB 6.5 but not in 6.1:
If you click on the drop down box that says "default config" next to the
build button, you can click on "Customize". That pops up a "Project
Properties" dialog box. If you click on "Formatting" in the "Categories"
panel, you'll then get a frame with a "Edit global options" button. An
"Options" panel will show up. Click on the "Fonts and Colors" tab. You
can then change the font in the resulting frame.
