Suggested work-around copied from sidtj from the same forum as suggested by Daniel ( http://forums.netbeans.org/post-127693.html ).
"Append "--laf Metal" (without quotes) to your netbeans exec link. Here i have: Exec=/bin/sh "/home/username/bin/netbeans-7.1/bin/netbeans" --laf Metal This is not the best laf (look and feel) but is better than the current one on 12.04. No more bold in everywhere and visible menu, including in the ambiance theme." These work around fixes bold font issue... I don't like the look of Netbeans with this look and feel, but it is a temporary solution until a fix release... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/989624 Title: Netbeans font type is bold, menu font color is grey To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/netbeans/+bug/989624/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
